To Cut through the chase, I messed up.

No backups.
The log files seem to be fubar.

Is there a way with just restore the email with just the the priv.edb and pub.edb files.

Some third party software or some super human tech support people that can help.

Microsoft told me to do a
eseutil /p
&
isinteg -pri -fix -test alltests (At least 3 or more times)

Has anyone done this or tried something else?

Thank You for any feedback.

That should do it.

Has email died or are you just having log file problems?

Make a backup now using the exchange agent. If you can get into email and you don't have that many users you might be safe - how big an org are we talking? If the org is big and so is the database, run away quickly and never go back

:)
 
Email is up, but I (I use the c: for system stuff, the D: priv and pub, and e: for logs) made new all drives:\exchsrvr\mdbdata folders. Doing this brought the email back up. Now all the old email is gone. I am making a restore server now to try to bring back to life the old data. Using some of the stuff in the first post.

If this don't work the word "Run Forest Run" come to mind.

Thanks
