When I upgraded our Exchange Server 5 to version 5.5 the install program
gave an error when it was converting PRIV.EDB, the private info store.

I took a copy of the file and, after installation, everyone's messages had
disappeared.  Setup has created a new PRIV.EDB but if I copy the old one
back, Exchange won't start because the file is from version 5.  I've tried
using some of the utilities (EDBUTIL amongst others) but I can't upgrade the
file.

I am now considering putting Exchange 5.0 on another of our NT servers so I
can read the file and move the messages across to the other server.  Is this
possible?

If anyone knows anything about reading or upgrading the ver 5 EDB file or if
you know if it's possible to open and move the messages from another server,
it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
