Getting fed up with 0xC7FE1F42? Well you aren't the only one, here's a quick list of reasons I've found that causes this, and more importantly how to get around it.
Firstly make sure the store you are trying to restore too is offline i.e not mounted.
This is done via ADSIEdit (install from the Windows 2003 CD folder SUPPORT\TOOLS\SUPTOOLS.MSI) then c:\program files\support tools\adsiedit.msc
1. Open ADSI Edit. 2. Click to expand Configuration, expand Services, expand Microsoft Exchange, expand Organization Name, expand Administrative Groups, expand Admin Group Name, expand Servers, expand ServerName, and then expand Information Store. 3. Right click the Store which is incorrectly named and enter the value from the 8012 event. ** The names of the servers must match, so for example I am moving from elephant to spider I had to change the following: CN=MailboxStore(spider)change to CN=MailboxStore(elephant) **

If you get the error XXX make sure you had checked 'this is the last backup set' to make sure hard recovery has run
