Hi all, it is looking like i am going to need to restore a mailbox for a single user only. The customer uses exchange 2010 on sbs 2011. The backups of exchange are made with a third party solution which off loaded to a datacentre. To be honest i would not know where to start on recovering the mailbox for the user in question. Please can anyone help? Thanks

Hi, Create a recovery database and restore the mailbox database to this recovery database: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876874.aspx Then restore the mailbox from this recovery database: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125218.aspx Leif

thats great thank you very much. I am not sure about the cmdlet below New-MailboxRestoreRequest - do i have to use the mailbox GUID or can i use the username? Both options are covered in the suggested article but i am not sure which is the best method to use? Thanks

Hi, You can use either option - doesn't matter Leif
