Reconnect more that 1 mailbox at a time in Exchaneg 2003 RSG.
Hello,
I've restored an old database in Exchange 2003 using the recovery storage group option, thing is if I right-click on 1 mailbox I can reconnect the mailbox to the user, thing is I need to to 100's, is there a quick way round this? If i hold shift or
use the control button to select more that one mailbox I dont get the reconnect option from a right-click, just a help option.
Thanks

HI,
As I remember you can only have option of "reconnect mailbox" If you select single mailbox. You can use "swap" option if you want to reconnect all mailbox's in the DB.

You need to
find all the match accounts for
all the disconnected mailboxes firstly and then you could select all the mailbox to reconnect.
EMC>Tools>Mailbox Recovery Center>Select all the mailboxes and Right click Find Match>Select all the mailboxes and Right click Reconnect
Thanks

Are you trying to use this EDB to overwrite the previous EDB in production or to just recover mailbox content from the EDB into the existing mailboxes? if the latter you may want to check out DigiScope
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp since it was take the recovered EDB and do a SingleTouch restore from all of the mailboxes within the EDB to the Live Production Exchange server.
If I misunderstood your question please advise and I will see if I can assist
