Recovery of mailbox using RSG

[zenblitz]

Could you please guide me how can we recover the user mailbox in Exchange 2003 environment using Recovery Storage Group in the scenario when the user account and the disconnected mailbox both are purged.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you to all. I got the solution below:

Solution:

-we can't use the recovery storage group to recover or restore a mailbox if it purged or if the retention period has passed (30 days), following the resolution steps:
1-create a recovery storage group
2-add the database(which include the mailbox before purged) to this recovery storage group.
3-Restore the database from backup
4-dismount the database if its mount
5- Create a new Storage Group and Database ensuring that the file names for the new database are identicle to those of the database in the recovery storage group. Then dismount the database.
6- Copy the .stm and .edb files from the recovery storage group location to the path of the new database.
7- In the properties of the new database place a check mark next to the box (this database can be over written by a restore).
8- Mount the database, connect mailbox to a user account, Exmerge the data out of the recovered mailbox and into the new mailbox.
