Microsoft Exchange Server

Vembu Universal Explorer is used to perform individual E-Mail level restore with the help of .edb file from the source VHD and to restore the entire mailbox to a live Microsoft Exchange Server. You can view the Exchange Mailbox contents instantly from Vembu Universal Explorer.

  • Live restore can be performed to the target MS Exchange Server.
  • Used to export the selected Mailboxes or individual E-Mails into .pst format.
  • Perform mail level restore from the exchange database.
  • View the Exchange E-Mail contents directly from Vembu Universal Explorer UI.

Requirements

  • To open database files, Vembu Universal Explorer requires a service dynamic link library (ese.dll) which is installed together with Microsoft Exchange.
  • For Exchange Server 2007 EDB and Exchange Server 2010/2013/2016 EDB, we can configure the ese.dll by navigating to the "File ? Settings". Now browse and select the location of ese.dll.
  • Vembu Universal Explorer only supports database files (.edb) created with the 64-bit version of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, 2010,2013 and 2016.
  • If you are planning to export mailbox items as Personal Folder Files (.pst) or restore to Exchange Server, it is necessary to have the 64-bit version of Microsoft Outlook 2010 installed in the system.
  • The mailbox which is used for creating the MAPI profile should have administrator privileges, and we need to run our exe from that user only.
  • .NET framework 4.0 or 4.5 has to be installed in the machine to perform Save EML message.
