HELP!! Database FILES but Nothing Else!!

I've got a situation where that I've inherited whereby the OS and
application (Exch.5.5) was completely LOST due to disk failures, BUT the
database files (.edb .dat, etc) are intact in the "MDBDATA" and "DSADATA"
and "MTADATA" folders.. I believe these files represent the MAILBOX STORE
that existed...
 
How can I recover these files INTO a NEW Exchange Server setup. I prefer to
have them in Exchange 2000... Is there an "import" feature??? Do I have to
establish them back into Exch. 5.5 THEN migrate to Exch. 2000..
 
Any help is greatly appreciated..

Mark, 
 
 
When I right click over a user and select Exchange tasks the Wizard appears.
When I choose next, I see delete mailbox and install instant messaging. I am
guessing that this move mailbox feature is part of the administrative tools
on the Exchange 2000 server disk. What do you think?
 
Thanks
 
Bill

Bill,
 
What exactly do you mean by "was created in my offline address book"?
 
So when you right click over the account in Active Directory Users and
Computers, and then select Exchange Tasks, what do you see?

Good afternoon,
 
    I am presently using a Exchange 2000 box running Window 2K SP3. While
creating a new mailbox, I discovered the mailbox was created in my Offline
Address Book instead of my Priv edb. When I attempted to move the mailbox
out of one location to the other, I learned that the move option in the
Exchange Wizard was not present? Can anyone tell me how to install the move
mailbox feature on my Exchange box?
 
r/Bill
