Recovering from Dirty Crash and Dirtier Recovery
I recently had an Exchange server crash badly after a power outage. When the server came up, the information stores were unmountable. Went through all the steps to bring them back online, nothing was successful. Our last backup was quite old, (backups had been failing recently) so went through a dirty method of restoring, deleted the data files, re-mounted a new store then restored the mailboxes from backup.Problem I'm experiencing is with public folders:1.) "New" public folders are in place with name of original folders.2.) Exchange sees these as new public folders and has retained the name of the old folders. So, the new folders are created with new e-mail addresses, such as PublicFolder2@domain.com because it still has the original e-mail address of PublicFolder@domain.com stored in the Global Address List.My question is, is there a way to manually delete these entries from the Global Address List and assign the original e-mail address of PublicFolder@domain.com to these new public folders?Setup:Exchange 2003 (latest service pack) running on Windows 2003 server (latest service pack)
