If you think that your active directory can be corrupted you should perform integrity check. To do that you must boot your Windows server 2003 into Directory Services Restore Mode. How to do that you can can check in article named “Windows server 2003 – How to access Active Directory services restore mode remotely”. After login open command line ant type:
Ntdsutil and press Enter
Files and press Enter
Integrity and press Enter
I think all you know that in order to access active directory services restore mode you must press F8 when booting your server and then select Directory Services restore mode from boot options menu. But how to do that if your server is at remote location and you can reach it only via Remote Dektop connection (Start>Run mstsc /console). Nope, no ILO too…
There is a way! Connect to that Windows server 2003 via rdp and open boot.ini file in notepad. Then add following text to the end of the boot.ini file:
/SAFEBOOT:DSREPAIR
Save boot.ini file and reboot server. After reboot connect with RDC (Start>Run mstsc /console) and login using Local Administrators account.
After you will finish your work with server in Directory Services Restore Mode dont forget to delete that extra line you added to boot.ini.

In this article you`ll learn how to export Exchange 2007 mailbox to PST file using power shell on your Windows XP or Windows server 2003 machines.
For that task you must have power shell and Outlook 2003 with SP2 or Outlook 2007 installed.
In this example we need to export mailbox for user TestUser@mydomain.com to local folder D:\PST
Open power shell and type:
Export-Mailbox -Identity TestUser@mydomain.com -PSTFolderPath D:\PST\TestUser.pst
This example will show how to grant full access rights to specific mailbox using power shell on Windows server 2003 with Exchange 2007 installed.
You want user Admin to have full access over mailbox named TestUser.
Open Power Shell extention for exchange and type:
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity TestUser -User Admin -AccessRights FullAccess
To make it work your user (Admin in this example) must be member of Exchange Administrators and Local administrators groups.
