Recover emails from unused legacy exchange server

  • 772

I've been presented with an old MS Exchange 2003 server which contains a lot of important emails.

How would I best recover these emails?

My dream scenario would look something like this:

  1. Install program y on old server.
  2. Program y locates .xxx files containing users emails.
  3. Program y converts .xxx files into separate Outlook .pst-files for importing.

Is something like this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, James

    Is the server bootable? Does the Mailbox Store mount? If so, you could use exmerge to extract the email.

  2. If you have Exchange Databases and logs available, you can use Ontrack PowerControls to recover data / mailboxes from your DB.
