Hello all,

A user who is a member of several shared inboxes has accidentally ran outlook.exe /cleanserverrules which, to no ones surprise, has now deleted all rules applied to the shared inboxes they are a member of affecting several other members

In order to support them, is there a way for these rules to be recovered? SCANPST was ran on the clients laptop first so there will be a backup .bak file, but unfortunately the rules were not exported as backup first
