    Hi Dexter,

    I understand your problem. You can try two manual procedures to view your Exchange EDB files. These are free utilities by Microsoft. I hope, it may help you.

    1. Microsoft Exchange Server Mailbox Merge
    2. Exchange Admin Center (EAC)

    Hi Kerry,

    I don’t know how these utilities work. Please explain a step-by-step procedure to open & read Exchange EDB files with the help of these utilities.

    I will tell you the process of MS Exchange Server Mailbox Merge Wizard. Follow these steps:

    1. First of all, search and download exe for the same and install it in your system.
    2. Now, you need to select Extract & Import option and then proceed by clicking on Next button.
    3. Click on Extract data from an Exchange Server mailbox radio button and then, again click on Next button.
    4. Then, click on Import Procedure >> Archive Data to target store >> Ok.
    5. After that, click on Message Details and enter all the details and then, click on OK button.
    6. Choose mailbox file that you want to export and specify the location to save the exported file and then, click on Finish button.
    7. Now, you will get PST file. Import that file in Outlook and access your data.

    I tried this method but I didn’t get any positive result. Can you please share another method as discussed by you?

    Yes, Sure.

    In EAC (Exchange Admin Center), you need to follow these steps:
    1. You have to create a New Shared Folder.
    2. Click on Permission tab and set Folder Shared & Security level.
    3. Click on Organization Management >> Exchange Admin Center >> Permission >> Recipient Management >> Add and choose Role >> Mailbox Import items >> OK.
    4. In EAC, choose the Mailbox and you need to select the desired mailbox. Right-click on the mailbox and then Export to PST file. After that, click on Finish button.

    These methods are very time-consuming and lengthy. Is there any easy method to do this task?

    OK. If you are looking for a simple and perfect solution that takes very less time to open EDB database files without MS Exchange Server, then you can go with automated solution i.e. SysTools Exchange EDB Viewer. It provides you an easy and effortless way to view EDB files.
