What Customers say
Christophe Dumaz, IT
I was trying to mount an old archived orphaned EDB file to Exchange Server. But the Active Directory refused to recognize it. So, I had to use an EDB to PST converter tool. I do not regret it. The tool delivers satisfactory results without breaking the mailbox structure. Great tool and helpful support team. Thanks, Kernel. ”
Claus Groth, US
After a server crash, the database file was dismounted from the server. I tried the eseutil tool, but the soft recovery failed. I needed a solution to recover the data without losing any emails. Kernel’s EDB converter tool allowed me to get back all the users’ mailboxes along with the public folder data. The tool saved me from a huge data disaster. ”
Janelle Zenteno, US
The tool was able to easily read and convert mailboxes from my large EDB file of 80 GB. It listed all of the 100+ user mailboxes with all emails and other data items without any issue. The mailbox selection and conversion process was smooth. The option to split PST is also very useful to export data in manageable, smaller PST files to avoid corruption.”
