Hi Aaron,
While I am in no way an expert on this, I'll try and offer my limited
knowledge as it sounds like you are in dire straits. I've not used vista yet
so this my knowledge extends only to XP and Server 2000/ 2003, Hopefully
this can be applied to vista. I'm in a bit of a rush so post back any
questions/ results.
First off, did you configure a recovery agent?
If so, then use this to recover the files not your user pfx file (the pfx
file is the private key I think)
Second, do you have a domain? You mention you have vista and server 2000 so
hopefully you do have...
If you do, then the administrator account should have been assigned a
Recovery Agent certicificate when first logged on.
You can use this to try and recover data.
I would check this first and then go from there. Log in as admin onto your
vista and check the personal store for a recovery certificate. Have alook at
the links below, some contain links to other docs.
Read up about using Cipher
Maybe try using Scanpst on the recovered pst file after running the Elcim
tool?
