Greetings all!

Long week.

MY IS store (Exchange 2000 SP3) crashed last week. I created a new IS store so I could get email going while I repair the corrupt IS.

Unfortunately, my blackberries stopped working (were looking for their mailboxes on the corrupt store I assume) and according to support, we had to reactivate all the blackberries. (Pure misery).

Once I have the repaired IS store up and running, is their anything I can do to avoid having to reactivate users again?

Thanks to all. It's been a miserable week!

Without restoring the store from backup, then there won't be much you can do to avoid reactivation of the devices. I would seriously look into a robust Exchange backup solution at this point.

You should be ok if you are able to repair the damaged information store and then export the mailbox content to PST and then do a PST import back to the blank information store you have created.
