do you mean EDB? I would try the following---------------create a new server....load ex5.5 with the same configuration sp4 and post fixes and hot fixes.....create the exact same site (DO NOT JOIN).....make sure the server has the same name as the one that crashed......restore using NTbackup or Veritas or what ever they used with the exchange agent.....restore the is/ds and remove the following key ---- HKey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Restore in Progress and then run the consistency checker and isinteg -patch.

http://www.MSExchange.org/
Hi all,
One of my customer's Exchange 5.5 server had a hardware failure and only thing they could recover was their *.PDB files. I installed Exchange 5.5 on a test PC and tried to put that data back in. However, no information could be read. What is the best way to recover from PDB files? I am desperate in need for good suggestions. Thank you so much.
