Because of a ZeroAttack rootkit, I've had to do a bare-metal restore of an SBS 2011 server.
After cleaning the rootkit, I did a full Windows Backup of the corrupted system to be able to recover some of the user data (including Exchange). This was March 29th.
A bare-metal restore was done from a March 25th backup. SBS 2011 is up and running OK.
Did a recovery of the Exchange apps from the March 29th backup - recovered the Mailbox EDB and files and the Public Folders EDB and files.
Used eseutil /mh to change the status of the Mailbox EDB from 'dirty shutdown' to 'clean'.
Used eseutil /r E00 /d and then checked status again with eseutil /mh. Successful, no problem.
Created and mounted the Recovery DB in Exchange. (New-MailboxDatabase)
Get-MailboxStatistics shows nothing, but using a 3rd party tool like Stellar Phoenix shows all the mailboxes and thousands of emails.
Any idea what I've done wrong - why Exchange doesn't see the mailboxes or emails?
This is a small not-for-profit, with minimal $ for IT expenditures; their fiscal year end was last week and a number of critical emails are in that Recovery DB (but not accessible by Exchange).
Help please.
