Hi All,
Does anyone know how to restore deleted items through exchange or where they
are put when the setting is "keep deleted items for 30 days"?

One user who has left "shift" deleted most of his mail from his exchange
mailbox, and I need to get it back!

TIA
Mark

You need to add the DumpsterAlwaysOn registry hack ....
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=886205

Then you should be able to use Recover Deleted Items.

If he was really clever, though, he removed the items from the Recover
Deleted Items window as well - in which case, you will need to go to your
backups for this data.

Thanks Lanwench, once again you cracked it!
Although the article says that after adding the registry entry you can only
recover deleted items from that point, I was able to get everything that was
deleted last monday and items before that and I've only just put the
DumpsterAlwaysOn in! How cool!

Cheers and Best Regards
Mark

N.B. do you have a real name?

No. I sprang fully formed from Zeus' forehead as Lanwench. :-)
