Retrieve email data from Exchange 2003 server with AD corrupted

[birdto]

Hi All,

I need a help.

I have a 2003 server with Exchange 2003 installed. However, the AD file
ntds.dit is corrupted is can't be recovered. So, I decide to reinstall AD
and server. My email server data is saved in external HD and seems ok. Can
anyone teach me how to retrieve the email back after a new server install?

Regards,
Berthold

Hi - see my reply in m.p.exchange.admin. In the future, please don't
multipost - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost
instead, by posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups
(separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread.
Multiposting wastes everyone's time, including yours, and may lead to your
actually getting *less* help rather than more.
