We recently did a hardware migration of MS Exchange 2013 CU11 to a new Exchange 2013 CU21 server. This involved using the move mailbox wizard to move all of the mailboxes. The process was completed successfully and after waiting a few weeks, we finished
by uninstalling Exchange 2013 from the old server. Nothing else was done to the old server, and the old databases and logs are still in place.
The client has now advised us that there were a number of disabled mailboxes that they had forgotten about, and now need to have recovered. We tried to use the recovery database option on the new server to mount the old databases but this failed, as the Windows
server version is different.
As only CU21 and CU22 are available for download, how should we proceed to reinstall Exchange 2013 on the old server in order to recover the disabled mailboxes? I presume we use setup /mode:recoverserver but will this work with CU22 and will this allow us to
recover the disabled mailboxes? The retention period was set for 1 year so they "should" be there.
Many thanks,
Pat
