While I won't swear to it, and I've seen conflicting advice from
Microsoft, I believe it's necessary to have a 32-bit Outlook, either
2003 or 2007, installed on the same machine to restore mailboxes. That
certainly does work, as I've restored an Exchange 2003 exmerged mailbox
to 2007 that way, but I don't know for certain that it's necessary.

If so, it requires the tools to run on a 32-bit OS, and therefore to use
the 32-bit Exchange 2007 tools. Together with the necessary SP1 (the
mailbox restore API comes with that), that's about a 1.5GB download, as
I'm fairly sure they're not on the installation disc.

If anyone knows better, experience always beats the KB...
