Regarding Problem1, you are correct that the Information Store service must be running to perform an Exchange recovery. Did you try to start the services manually? I'll be happy to help more if you post the text of the messages. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .
