Hi, me again.
So I found out I have to restore the entire data store to get at the mailbox I want to recover. Fair enough.
I made a new exchange 5.5 server to receive the old stores - once that is up I'll get the mail I need and forward it to the main exchange.
However - when you go to do a recover of exchange databases you have NO option of where to put them. I was on my production exchange server - and if I hit that recover button, it stops all the services, and restores to THAT server only.
How can I tell it to restore my exchange stores to a different location??
Any assistance appreciated as I'm baffled at how complicated recovering mail is.
