Exchange 2003 Directed Recovery

[razvannw]

Hello,
I try to perform a Exchange 2003 recovery to a new server.
I do the following prequisite befor i start:
1. I place the server in a diffrent Activ Directory forest than the original Exchange.
2.I put the Storage Group and database name same as original server
3 I configure the recovery server with the same organization name and administrative group as original Exchange server
4. I use the same drive letter and paths for the transaction log location and system path location as original Exchange server
5. I use the same name and path for edb and stm files as original

When i perform direct recovery i get the following messages:

976] exchapex(4853) Database "Outside Users Mailbox Store (RPBEXCH1SRV)" not found. (0x80070491)
[976] rcmain(758): process_is_recover() failed with status = 0x80070491
[976] rcmain(786): end_is_recover() failed with status = 0x80070491

I suspect that the mailbox store RPBEXCH1SRV does not exist on the target server. You must create the db and it must have the exact same name as on the source server.

Cheers!
