3 # Exchange Server 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2

5 In order to install Exchange you have to install the web server role **and** the IIS 6 meta-base compatiblity feature. If the latter is not installed, the Exchange installation utility will complain about IIS not being correctly installed.

7 If you are experiencing authentication problems with OWA (OWA tells you, that the username / password is wrong, although it is correct), you have to install the standard authentication feature. Although OWA is using form-based authentication and the Exchange installer does not install this feature, it is required by OWA. I found this hint [here](http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/961dbdd0-554f-4a75-a374-7ada899a2807).

9 # Recover Mailbox on Exchange Server 2010
10
11 The ideas presented here are from a [blog article](http://www.expta.com/2009/10/how-to-use-recovery-database-in.html) and they might not work. Test backup and recovery yourself before relying on any method.
12
13 In this example, the files the database is being recovered from are in `c:\exrecovery`. The server is called `exserver`, the mailbox being recovered `exuser` and recovered database is called `RDB1`. The commands have to be run within the Exchange Shell.
14
15 ```bat
16 cd c:\exrecovery
17 eseutil /r E00 /i /d
18 New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RDB1 -Server exserver -EdbFilePath "c:\exrecovery\Mailbox Database 1882717321.edb" -LogFolderPath "c:\exrecovery"
19 Mount-Database RDB1
20 Restore-Mailbox -ID exuser -RecoveryDatabase RDB1
21 Dismount-Database RDB1
22 Remove-MailboxDatabase RDB1
