Hi,
I have a ex03 server and one of the storage groups had four mail stores, one of these was deleted a while back and I need to restore it to a recovery storage group to try and locate a mailbox. However the RSG does not see it in the add database wizard as it is no longer in AD. Furthermore I have tried to replicate the restore process in a lab but using ntbackup this fails with error
Failed to find a database to restore to from the Microsoft Active Directory. Storage Group specified on the backup media
Just wondering what the process is to restore a deleted mail store to a RSG in exchange 2003, I know ex03 is end of life but as you can imagine its still being used by some organisations
