garoberts -> Mailbox Restore Error (4.Sep.2007 5:25:46 AM)

I am doing a Disaster Recovery test and have rebuilt a test exchange 2007 server and recoverd my backed up mailbox a couple of weeks ago.

I have now returned to restoer some more mailboxes to capture average restore times.I however have tried restoring a mailbox and for some reason I receive the error: The specified mailbox "mailbox name" does not exist on database "Mailbox Database01"

When using the command "Get-MailboxStatisitics -Database RSG\Mailbox Databse01" it shows that the mailbox does exist.

See the Power Shell results below...


[PS] C:\>Restore-Mailbox -Identity "garoberts" -RSGDatabase "rsg\mailbox database01" -TargetFolder "new restore" -RSGMailbox "garoberts"

Restore-Mailbox : The specified mailbox "garoberts" does not exist on database "rsg\mailbox database01".
At line:1 char:16
+ Restore-Mailbox  <<<< -Identity "garoberts" -RSGDatabase "rsg\mailbox database01" -TargetFolder "new restore" -RSGMailbox "garoberts"


[PS] C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ABF>Get-MailboxStatistics -Database

It is a really annoying problem as I have successfully restored this mailbox before but now can't even restore the mailbox I originally restored

I think this could be a GUID problem but I don not know how to get around it or fix the problem. Could please provide any help?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Regards
Giles

Just wondering if you ever figured out your problem restoring mailboxes. I'm having the exact same problem.

I can restore some mailboxes that I created, but not others.

This the error I get:
Restore-Mailbox : The specified mailbox "kreilly" does not exist on database "e2k7exchange\Recovery Storage Group\Operations Management".
At line:1 char:16
+ restore-mailbox <<<< -RSGMailbox kreilly -RSGDatabase '2k7exchange\Recove
ry Storage Group\Operations Management' -id texec -TargetFolder restore

Thanks,
Craig

I actually figured out a solution.

Use the Exchange Management Console, and use the Merge.
For some reason, I am able to restore in the EMC, but not always in the Powershell using the restore-mailbox cmdlet. I can restore mailbox accounts I create in the Powershell, but not the mailboxes other Exchange Admins create. I cannot even restore my own mailbox in the Powershell using the restore-mailbox command, and I am an Exchange Orginazation Admin. My mailbox was created in Exchange 2003, and converted to Exchange 2007.



the0duke0 -> RE: Mailbox Restore Error (1.Apr.2009 1:22:28 PM)

The behavior I have seen is that restoring from either EMS or the EMTA returns an error if I try to restore a mailbox to a subfolder in the same mailbox. I can restore it to another mailbox as a subfolder just fine.
This is the case in garoberts example:
[PS] C:\>Restore-Mailbox -Identity "garoberts" -RSGDatabase "rsg\mailbox database01" -TargetFolder "new restore" -RSGMailbox "garoberts"
This seems like a logical task to perform, but I have not yet got it to work. Any thoughts?



techy -> RE: Mailbox Restore Error (2.May2009 12:27:35 AM)

This will usually happen due to mailbox GUID not matching with one in RSG
