I installed exchange 2013 fresh from scratch on server 2012 and made it talk to a brand new AD forest DC.
I restored exchange edb and mounted as recoverydb.
Is there no way to export permissions (csv) of mailbox calendars from this recovery db without having to do a newmailboxexport-request?
I'm guessing the restore wouldn't work If I'm restoring in a totally new Active Directory infrastructure?
Thanks!
Correct, not possible:
Folder access control lists (ACLs) aren't preserved when recovering content into an active mailbox. Because the recovery process typically involves recovering mailbox data and merging the content back into the original database, there should be no need to recover or copy ACLs.
Thanks @Andy David - MVP ,
A follow-up question if you have time: I don't have a backup of log files. Does this mean my only restore option is to create a new database, create new mailboxes and restore from recoverydb? There's no way to make it recoverydb the production db?
You mean for testing purposes or for an actual recovery that is required now?
If all you have is the recovery DB then yes, you have to restore to the prod database because clients are blocked from accessing the recovery DB itself.
Got it. Thank you again, sir. I appreciate your time.
