In reply to Edward.

I also have the same situation as you: “I am getting several “FailedOther” status reports”.
Were you able to find more details?
Thanks

In reply to Advantech Consulting, Inc.. Really asking about Exchange 2019, however, interesting to know for all Exchange versions.

Can one use New-MailboxExportRequest to export a mailbox from the recovery database to a .PST file?

Great article Paul, thank you very much.

I have a question about the deleting of the RecoveryDB. We are restoring several mailboxes from several DBs and we’ve noted that when we reuse the RecoveryDB between restores, sometimes them fails and until we don’t recreate the RecoveryDB it doesn’t work.
Does anyone know how to reuse the RecoveryDB in a safe way?. Everytime i recreate it i have to move the other DBs in my exchange to restart the Information store service, which is a bit tricky

Thank you

Is it possible to connect Outlook to a Recovery Database to extract data?

Hi Paul
Great work – as ever! Fantastic coverage.
I’ve just migrated from Ex 2013 to 2019 via 2016 (because of some tricky environmental issues)using this, and I’m so happy!
One gotcha that I came across was not checking that the final destination mailboxes had enough capacity – being set at the default 2GB in Ex 2019. All good in the end, however!
