Restore Soft Deleted MailBox To Shared Mail Box

Restore Soft Deleted MailBox To Shared Mail Box

Connect PowerShell to Exchange Online using below command:

 

$LiveCred = Get-Credential

$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/ -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $Session

 

Then checked the old user in Soft Delete

Get-Mailbox –SoftDeletedMailbox  //Check the deleted user details

Get-mailbox –SoftDeletedMailbox –Identity “Name of the mailbox” | fl *guid*

Copy the GUID (not Exchange GUID) in a notepad (1)

Get-mailbox –Identity “Email address of the new user” | fl *guid*

Copy the GUID (2)

 

Following command will copy the old mailbox’s email to the new mailbox.

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceMailbox "GUID (1)" -TargetMailbox "GUID (2)" -TargetRootFolder "Old Mailbox" –AllowLegacyDNMismatch

 

Since user had Archive enabled we restored the archive mailbox seperately

We ran the below commands to get the ArchiveGuid

Get-Mailbox -Identity user@domain.com -SoftDeletedMailbox |fl " ArchiveGuid"

Get-Mailbox -Identity user@domain.com |fl "ArchiveGuid"

 

New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceMailbox "GUID (1)" -TargetMailbox "GUID (2)" -TargetRootFolder "Old Mailbox" –AllowLegacyDNMismatch
