mailstore missing from recovery list

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I'm trying to recover a mailstore using the RSG, but when I go to add the
mailstore to it, the one I need is missing, but the other 2 mailstores from
the same SG are listing, along with all other mailstores from the other SG's.

Any suggestions on why it's not being listed and possible fixes?

Thanks,
Scott

Has it already been added to the RSG?

No, when I try to add it to the RSG, it's not showing up in the Select
Database to Recover list.

Did you removed it from Active Directory?

No, the mailstore is still active and showing in the storage group, and I
looked at the entries in AD configuration and did not see a difference
between that mailstore and another one that does show up in the list.

Heard about this before but never found a solution. Did you try
deleting your RSG and trying again. If not you could try creating it
manually. I've never tried so I cannot guarantee if the method works
or not.


Try creating it manually through adsiedit. Create a database to
recover using one that does get listed. Then open adsiedit. Find that
store object in recovery storage groups. Now you want to use this as a
template and re-home all attributes to the one that does not list ie.
cn; dn msExchMailboxGUID; msExchOrigMDB etc.

Basically just go through all properties that are configured and
replace anything that references the one you used as template to the
one that won't list. There shouldn't be more than a few.

Also for grins see if this applies.

James,

I tried deleting the RSG and recreating it with a different name, with no
change. I know that if I create the AD object it will probably work, but was
hoping not to have to go through that process, but will give it a try.

Okay, I've created the AD object, and things look good in System Manager
with the store showing up in the RSG. I have to wait for a tape to be
reloaded into my changer and then I'll be able to see if it actually
restores. If it does restore, I'll post a detailed explanation of what I did
for other's reference.

Thanks,
Scott
