Restore Mailbox Scenarios

Restore Mailbox Scenarios
In this tip we will examine the different restore mailbox scenarios E12 will support.


General Assumptions on Restore-Mailbox Scenarios:

Servers are in a highly connected network.
Servers are part of a Single Forest or Resource Forests: Mailbox content can only be exported to mailboxes within the same forest. The NT accounts associated with the mailbox can be in an external forest (as in a Resource Forest Scenario), but mailbox content will not be able to be exported to servers in different forests.
These are the supported Source Servers:
1. Exchange 2000 SP3 (or later)
2. Exchange 2003 SP2 (or later)
3. Exchange 2007
These are the supported Target Servers:
1. Exchange 2007
Recipient Admin rights are required
Restore-Mailbox can only use disconnected mailboxes as source of content and connected mailboxes as the target

Recovering old mailbox of an existing employee

Customer Setting:

Restore-Mailbox can also recover data of users that have an active mailbox in the Exchange Organization. The way to do this is to recover the backup to the RSG database, and from there restore the user’s mailbox (or part of it using filtering) by simply specifying the ID for the mailbox to be restored. In this case, source and target should be the same so there is no need to use RSGMailbox.


Customer Goal:
Ability to restore mailbox content from RSG to the active mailbox that has the same ID, individually and in bulk.


Parameters
covered by use
cases:
-Identity, -TargetFolder, -RSGDatabase, -RSGMailbox

Additional tasks
covered by use
cases:
Get-mailboxstatistics


Scenario 1: Restore mailbox content to active mailbox based on User ID
An administrator wants to restore email content from the RSG into a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content of mailbox testE12mbx1 to the currently used testE12mbx1 mailbox:
MSH> restore-mailbox -id testE12mbx1 -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database'

Scenario 2: Restore mailbox content to active mailbox based on User ID and date rangeAn administrator wants to restore email content sent between 02/02/05 and 02/05/05 from a RSG mailbox into a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content sent between 02/02/05 and 02/05/05 of mailbox testE12mbx1 to the currently used testE12mbx1 mailbox:
MSH> restore-mailbox -id testE12mbx1 -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database' -StartDate ‘02/02/05’ –EndDate ‘02/05/05’


Scenario 3: Restore mailbox content from all mailboxes in a Database to active mailboxes
An administrator wants to restore email content from all mailboxes in the RSG to their currently active mailbox counterparts:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG mailboxes to their currently active mailbox counterparts:

MSH> get-mailboxstatistics -database 'recovery storage group\mailbox database' | restore-mailbox


Scenario 4: Restore mailbox content to folder based on active User ID
An administrator wants to restore email content from a RSG mailbox into a folder inside a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content of mailbox testE12mbx1 to a folder called Backup inside the currently used testE12mbx2 mailbox:

MSH> restore-mailbox -RSGMailbox 'testE12mbx1' -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database' -id 'testE12mbx2' -TargetFolder ‘Backup’

Scenario 5: Restore mailbox content to folder based on active User ID and date range
An administrator wants to restore email content sent between 02/02/05 and 02/05/05 from a RSG mailbox into a folder inside a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content of mailbox testE12mbx1 to a folder called Backup inside the currently used testE12mbx2 mailbox:
MSH> restore-mailbox -RSGMailbox 'testE12mbx1' -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database' -id 'testE12mbx2' -TargetFolder ‘Backup’ -StartDate ‘02/02/05’ –EndDate ‘02/05/05’

Customer Setting:

After an employee leaves a company, even though his active mailbox might be disabled or deleted, admins can still recover data from previous backups through the RSG. The way to do this is to recover the backup to the RSG database, and from there restore the user’s mailbox (or part of it using filtering) by specifying the RSGMailbox (points to ex-employee’s mailbox) and a target folder in an admin mailbox.


Customer Goal:
Ability to recover data from RSG mailboxes that do not have an active mailbox counterpart. Data is to be recovered to a folder inside another user’s active mailbox.

Parameters
covered by use
cases:
-Identity, -TargetFolder, -RSGDatabase, -RSGMailbox

Additional tasks
covered by use
cases:
Get-mailboxstatistics


Scenario 6: Restore mailbox content to folder inside an active mailbox based on RSG User ID
An administrator wants to restore email content from a RSG mailbox into a folder inside a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content of mailbox testE12mbx1 to a folder called Backup inside the currently used testE12mbx2 mailbox:

MSH> restore-mailbox -RSGMailbox 'testE12mbx1' -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database' -id 'testE12mbx2' -TargetFolder ‘Backup’

Scenario 7: Restore mailbox content to folder inside an active mailbox based on RSG User ID and date range
An administrator wants to restore email content sent between 02/02/05 and 02/05/05from a RSG mailbox into a folder inside a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content sent between 02/02/05 and 02/05/05 of mailbox testE12mbx1 to a folder called Backup inside the currently used testE12mbx2 mailbox
MSH> restore-mailbox -RSGMailbox 'testE12mbx1' -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database' -id 'testE12mbx2' -TargetFolder ‘Backup’ -StartDate ‘02/02/05’ –EndDate ‘02/05/05’

Scenario 8: Restore mailbox content from all mailboxes in a Database to a folder inside an active mailbox
An administrator wants to restore email content from all mailboxes in the RSG to a folder inside an active mailbox:

MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG mailboxes to a folder called DatabaseBackup inside mailbox testE12mbx2:


MSH> get-mailboxstatistics -database 'recovery storage group\mailbox database' | restore-mailbox -id 'testE12mbx2' -TargetFolder ‘DatabaseBackup’

Customer Setting:

Hardware malfunction resulted in corrupt databases which cannot be brought online in their current state. End users rely on timely email communication for business continuity. Need to enable email functionality ASAP.
If the current server and disk is available and functioning properly, Exchange administrator can enable dial tone services to all the users by moving the corrupt files to a different location and mounting an empty database online in its original location.
While the dial tone is in production, admin will recover original database from backup in a separate location. After this is complete, the production server switches to the backup database and the dial tone database is copied to the RSG. Then, the dial tone content is merged back into the new production database by using restore-mailbox so users do not lose any content.


Customer Goal:
Ability to restore mailbox content from RSG to the active mailbox that has the same ID, individually and in bulk.


Parameters
covered by use
cases:
-Identity, -TargetFolder, -RSGDatabase, -RSGMailbox

Additional tasks
covered by use
cases:
Get-mailboxstatistics


Scenario 9: Restore mailbox content to active mailbox based on User ID
An administrator wants to restore email content from the RSG into a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content of mailbox testE12mbx1 to the currently used testE12mbx1 mailbox:

MSH> restore-mailbox -id testE12mbx1 -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database'


Scenario 10: Restore mailbox content from all mailboxes in a Database to active mailboxes
An administrator wants to restore email content from all mailboxes in the RSG to their currently active mailbox counterparts:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG mailboxes to their currently active mailbox counterparts:

MSH> get-mailboxstatistics -database 'recovery storage group\mailbox database' | restore-mailbox


Customer Setting:

Hardware failures or some corruption resulted in Exchange server not functioning properly. While OS/Exchange Administrators investigate the issue, end users need access to email.
Exchange does not allow moving mailboxes to a different server if the original server is not available since move is associated with moving a mailbox with its associated full content. In order to provide dial tone functionality in this case, Admin would use a clean database in a separate server, and use the move-mailbox configuration only option to change the AD settings so the mailboxes would point to this new database. While the dial tone is in production, admin will recover original database from backup in a separate location (if the original server was fixed, that can be used as the location for the backup). After this is complete, the production server switches to the backup database and the dial tone database is copied to the RSG. Then, the dial tone content is merged back into the new production database by using restore-mailbox so users do not lose any content.


Customer Goal:
Ability to restore mailbox content from RSG to the active mailbox that has the same ID, individually and in bulk.


Parameters
covered by use
cases:
-Identity, -TargetFolder, -RSGDatabase, -RSGMailbox

Additional tasks

Scenario 11: Restore mailbox content to active mailbox based on User ID
An administrator wants to restore email content from the RSG into a currently active mailbox:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG content of mailbox testE12mbx1 to the currently used testE12mbx1 mailbox:

MSH> restore-mailbox -id testE12mbx1 -RSGDatabase 'Recovery Storage Group\Mailbox Database'


Scenario 12: Restore mailbox content from all mailboxes in a Database to active mailboxes
An administrator wants to restore email content from all mailboxes in the RSG to their currently active mailbox counterparts:


MONAD Syntax – restore all RSG mailboxes to their currently active mailbox counterparts:

MSH> get-mailboxstatistics -database 'recovery storage group\mailbox database' | restore-mailbox

What’s New in Exchange Server 2010 Beta?

New Rights-Protected E-Mail Functionality with Active Directory RMS
· Transport rules to apply AD RMS protection to messages based on conditions
· Persistent protection of attachments in rights-protected messages
· Support for AD RMS templates
· An Internet confidential AD RMS template for protection over the Internet
· AD RMS protection for Unified Messaging voice mail messages

New Transport and Routing Functionality
· Cross-premises mail routing - An organization can choose to outsource some of their mailboxes to a hosted solution while maintaining their on-premises deployment. Exchange 2010 allows routing of messages between the on-premises and hosted mailboxes.
· Enhanced disclaimers - Exchange 2010 lets you add disclaimers that can include hyperlinks, images, and HTML-formatted text. You can also insert Active Directory attributes that are substituted for the sender's attributes when a disclaimer rule is triggered.
· Transport rules integration with AD RMS - Exchange 2010 gives you the ability to create rules that require AD RMS protection based on keywords or patterns.
· Moderated Transport - Exchange 2010 provides an approval workflow for sending messages to recipients. When you configure a recipient for moderation, all messages sent to that recipient must go through an approval process.
· Shadow redundancy - Messages that are submitted to an Exchange 2010 Hub Transport server are stored in the transport database until the next hop reports successful delivery of the message. If the next hop doesn't report successful delivery and it fails, the message is resubmitted for delivery.
· Transport dumpster truncation based on log copy status - When messages that are in the dumpster are replicated to all mailbox databases, they're removed from the dumpster.
· Latency SLA management - Exchange 2010 Transport lets you measure service levels delivered relative to your service level agreement (SLA) goals. Exchange 2010 gives you the ability to measure latencies for each hop, as well as end-to-end latency.
· Transport database improvements - Performance improvements in the Transport database result in reduced database I/O per second (IOPS) per message, which increases message throughput.

New Permissions Functionality
In Exchange 2010, Role Based Access Control (RBAC) has replaced the permissions model that was used in Exchange 2007. RBAC lets you define extremely broad or extremely precise roles and assignments based on the roles of your administrators and users, and the tasks they perform. Access to the cmdlets and parameters required to perform a task is granted by assigning the related RBAC management role to a user or universal security group. If you want to grant an administrator or user the ability to perform tasks in Exchange 2010, you must either add the administrator or user to a universal security group that already has been assigned a specific RBAC role, or you must assign the role directly to the administrator or user.

New High Availability Functionality
Exchange 2010 combines the key availability and resilience features of cluster continuous replication (CCR) and standby continuous replication (SCR) into a single high availability solution that handles both on-site data replication and off-site data replication. Mailbox servers can be defined as part of a Database Availability Group to provide automatic recovery at the individual mailbox database level instead of at the server level. Each mailbox database can have up to 16 copies.
The following features in Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) no longer exist in Exchange 2010:
· Local continuous replication (LCR)
· Single copy clusters (SCC)

New Messaging Policy and Compliance Features
· Exchange 2010 compliance features make retention independent of users' mailbox management and filing habits, and these features ensure retention policies are applied continuously
· interface for applying retention policies
· Auto tagging for retention policies
· Mailbox search features for cross-mailbox search with Advanced Query Syntax (AQS) support
· New transport rules predicates and actions

New Outlook Web Access Features
· Favorites in the Navigation Pane
· Search folders
· Message filtering
· The ability to set categories in the message list
· Options in the Web management interface for Outlook Web Access
· A side-by-side view for calendars
· Multi-client language support
· The ability to attach messages to messages
· Expanded right-click capabilities
· Integration with Office Communicator, including presence, chat, and a contact list
· Conversation view
· The ability to send and receive text (SMS) messages from Outlook Web Access
· Outlook Web Access mailbox policies

New Unified Messaging Features
· Personal auto attendants (call answering rules)
· Additional language support including in Outlook Voice Access and Voice Mail Preview
· Enhancements to name lookup from caller ID
· Voice Mail Preview
· Messaging Waiting Indicator
· Missed call and voice mail notifications using text messaging (SMS)
· Protected Voice Mail
· Built-in Unified Messaging administrative roles

Web Management Interface
· Text messaging (SMS) integration
· Voice messaging integration
· Mailbox Search
· Distribution list creation and management
· Moderation and approval for distribution list submission

New Exchange Core Store Functionality
· Storage groups are deprecated
· Mailbox databases are no longer connected to the server object
· Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) has many improvements for high availability, performance, and database mobility
· The Store schema has been flattened

New Administration Functionality in the Exchange Management Console
The core EMC refers to new functionality that affects how you use the Exchange Management Console that includes:
· Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP)
· Organizational Health
· Community and Resources
· Command logging
· Property dialog command exposure

New Administration Functionality in the Exchange Management Shell
· Remote administration - With the new Shell, you can connect to remote Exchange 2010 servers across the network with only Windows PowerShell V2 CTP3 and Windows Remote Management 2.0 CTP installed.
