I think this is only possible if you are restoring data of 'Username' to another active temp mailbox like below cmdlet... Restore-Mailbox -RSGMailbox 'UserName' -RSGDatabase"SERVER01\RSG\Mailbox Store 4-SG04"-id 'Temp Mailbox' -TargetFolder 'Restore'Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

But then how do the user can access the items restored? maybe providing to the user's the full rights...so there is no solution for restoring the items in the user's mailbox in a new folder ?? :-(

I never checked this, can you try restoring to own mailbox but in a folder Restore with below cmdlet. Please let us know if you get any error... Restore-Mailbox -RSGMailbox 'UserName' -RSGDatabase"SERVER01\RSG\Mailbox Store 4-SG04"-id 'Username' -TargetFolder 'Restore'Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

-id is -identity. Try this cmdlet... Restore-mailbox -Identity graig -RSGDatabase "Server1\RSG\Mailbox Store 4-SG04" -RSGMailbox graig -TargetFolder RestoreAmit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

That's strange, just adding quote resolved the problem, Restore-Mailbox example doesn't have quote at TechNet doc but glad to know solved the problem... :)Amit Tank | MVP Exchange Server | MCITP: EMA | MCSA: M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
