Installation guide

The administrator recovers the required mailboxes as .pst files from the database or the mailbox

backup. The administrator then imports the mailbox data from the .pst to into the appropriate

mailboxes on another Exchange server by using the MailboxImportRequest cmdlet.

 Accessing mailbox data without mandatory usage of Exchange server.

Example: the General Counsel of the company has requested the administrator to provide a copy

of the mailbox of a recently resigned employee in order to research a legal case. The General

Counsel's laptop and the laptop itself is not in the corporate network. The administrator finds the

required version of the employee's mailbox in the previously created backups. Then, the

administrator recovers the mailbox as a .pst file on a USB stick and passes this stick to General

Counsel. The General Counsel simply opens this file by using Microsoft Outlook and sees all of

the contents for the required mailbox.

Steps to perform

1. Connect the console to the Exchange server running Agent for Exchange.

2. In the Navigation tree, select the vault where the required backups are stored.
