I have one Exchange 2000 server in my site. It was working fine for six months and all of a sudden it stopped working. I shut down the services, backed up priv1.edb,priv1.stm, pub1.edb and pub1.stm by copying them to another drive, Uninstalled Exchange 2000 and reinstalled it. I was able to bring it to a state so that everything is working fine and the email is working in both directions. However, I need to restore the 4 mentioned databases that I copied to the other drive on this server. What is the best method to achieve this? I would truly appreciate any help regarding how to restore the old edb and stm database that you could possible share with me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
