One of our exchange servers crashed, and I am trying to recover the mailboxes.

We had 1 exchange 2003 server named "apex" and 1 exchange 2010 server named "2008Enterprise.

the exchange 2010 server named "2008Enterprise" crashed.

I created a new exchange 2010 server named "Providence".

I ran the command on Providence:

New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name JBCMail -Server Providence -EdbFilePath "c:\data\Exchange\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 0579285147\Mailbox Database 0579285147.edb" -LogFolderPath "c:\data\Exchange\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 0579285147"

this command executed and finished without error

I then ran the command:

eseutil /p E00

this command was executed from the below directory: c:\data\Exchange\Mailbox\Mailbox Database 0579285147

I then mounted the JBCMail with the mount command note: I do not have my full typed command.

Inside my Exchange Management Console (EMC) I can view the new mailbox database named JBCMail. The JBCMail database is show as mounted on the exchange server named Providence.

I can see the crashed Exchange server named 2008Exchange. In the EMC the crashed exchange server states the Copy Status under ServerConfiguration->Mailbox is ServiceDown.

From here I need to recover three mailboxes

The mail boxes are on the apex server.

How do I move the mailboxs from apex to Providence? How do I restore the mailboxes from JBCmail mounted database to the user's mailbox?

I do not fully understand how to use the Restore-Mailbox command because when I use this command it tries to restore the mailbox to the dead apex server.
