I have months worth of backups including .edb files. I need to export a mailbox from last months backup .edb file. My understanding of using the Exchange Management Shell to export a mailbox only works on a live database i.e.
Get-Mailbox –Database “<Exchange Server FQDN>\<Database Name>"...
How can I point this to an archived .edb file or does anyone know of any freeware that will do this please?
