Legacy Outlook Data Recovery & eDiscovery Restoration
Managed a high-stakes data recovery operation for a client who had lost years of critical Outlook communication. I bypassed standard restoration limits by utilizing Microsoft Purview eDiscovery to execute deep-level search queries across the tenant.
Key Technical Achievements:
Advanced Search: Engineered complex eDiscovery queries to locate and aggregate 'lost' data fragments from the backend.
PowerShell: Authored and executed PowerShell scripts to recover data and export into organized PST files.
Data Integrity: Successfully re-imported years of historical archives into the active Outlook environment, ensuring 100% data integrity and correct folder mapping.
Outcome: Restored years of vital business communication that was previously considered unrecoverable."
