How to do mailbox recovery in Exchange 2010

 How to do mailbox recovery in Exchange 2010



First off we need to create the Recovery Database, this is something that change from Exchange 2007; we cannot do it using the GUI anymore, also the Recovery Storage Group doesnt exist anymore and has been replaced by Database Recovery. Open a PowerShell to create a new Database that will be used for Recovery purprose:


Code:
New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RecoverDB -Server FW88 -EDBFilePath R:\Recover\RecoverDB.edb -LogFolderPath R:\Recover\Logs
Than we will need to mount it after that your Backup software has restored the database.
Mount-database RecoverDB
Here is how you would restore a mailbox after the Store has been mounted. It would restore into someone else account (or the same one) under the ‘restore’ folder:


Code:
Restore-Mailbox -RecoveryDatabase RecoverDB -Identity tweety88  -TargetFolder restored -BadItemLimit 500 -RecoveryMailbox tweety88

Recreating a missing VMFS datastore partition in VMware vSphere 5.x and 6.x

    Symptoms A datastore has become inaccessible. A VMFS partition table is missing.   Purpose The partition table is required only during a rescan. This means that the datastore may become inaccessible on a host during a rescan if the VMFS partition was deleted after the last rescan. The partition table is physically located on the LUN, so all vSphere hosts that have access to this LUN can see the change has taken place. However, only the hosts that do a rescan will be affected.   This article provides information on: Determining whether this is the same problem Resolving the problem   Cause This issue occurs because the VMFS partition can be deleted by deleting the datastore from the vSphere Client. This is prevented by the software, if the datastore is in use. It can also happen if a physical server has access to the LUN on the SAN and does an install, for example.   Resolution To resolve this issue: Run the  partedUtil  command on the host with the issues and verify if your output

Unlock the VMware VM vmdk file

  Unlock the VMware VM vmdk file Kill -9 PID Sometimes a file or set of files in a VMFS become locked and any attempts to edit them or delete will give a device or resource busy error, even though the vm associated with the files is not running. If the vm is running then you would need to stop the vm to manipulate the files. If you know that the vm is stopped then you need to find the ESX server that has the files locked and then stop the process that is locking the file(s). 1. Logon to the ESX host where the VM was last known to be running. 2.  vmkfstools -D /vmfs/volumes/path/to/file  to dump information on the file into /var/log/vmkernel 3.  less /var/log/vmkernel  and scroll to the bottom, you will see output like below: a. Nov 29 15:49:17 vm22 vmkernel: 2:00:15:18.435 cpu6:1038)FS3: 130: <START vmware-16.log> b.
