Converting EDB (Exchange Database) files to PST (Outlook Data File) manually involves a series of steps using Microsoft's built-in utilities. Here's a guide on how to perform the conversion:

Step 1: Prepare the Environment
1. Set up a Windows computer with the necessary permissions to access the Exchange server.
2. Install the required versions of Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook.

Step 2: Create a Recovery Database
1. Launch the Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange server.
2. Run the following command to create a recovery database:
   ```Shell
   New-MailboxDatabase -Recovery -Name RecoveryDB -Server <ServerName> -EdbFilePath <PathToEDBFile>
   ```
   Replace `<ServerName>` with the name of your Exchange server and `<PathToEDBFile>` with the path to the EDB file.

Step 3: Mount the Recovery Database
1. Run the following command to mount the recovery database:
   ```Shell
   Mount-Database RecoveryDB
   ```

Step 4: Export Mailboxes to PST
1. Launch the Exchange Management Shell.
2. Run the following command to export a mailbox to a PST file:
   ```Shell
   New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox <MailboxName> -FilePath <PathToPSTFile>
   ```
   Replace `<MailboxName>` with the name of the mailbox you want to export and `<PathToPSTFile>` with the desired path for the resulting PST file.
3. Repeat the command for each mailbox you want to export.

Step 5: Monitor and Complete the Export
1. Run the following command to monitor the status of the export requests:
   ```Shell
   Get-MailboxExportRequest
   ```
2. Wait until the export requests show a status of "Completed" for all mailboxes.
3. Run the following command to remove the completed export requests:
   ```Shell
   Get-MailboxExportRequest | where {$_.Status -eq "Completed"} | Remove-MailboxExportRequest
   ```

Step 6: Dismount and Remove the Recovery Database
1. Run the following command to dismount the recovery database:
   ```Shell
   Dismount-Database RecoveryDB
   ```
2. Run the following command to remove the recovery database:
   ```Shell
   Remove-MailboxDatabase RecoveryDB
   ```

Step 7: Access the Exported PST Files
1. Copy the exported PST files from the location specified in `<PathToPSTFile>` during the export process.
2. You can now import these PST files into Microsoft Outlook using the "Import/Export" feature.

Please note that the manual process described above requires technical knowledge and administrative access to the Exchange server. It's recommended to perform these steps under the guidance of an experienced Exchange administrator. Additionally, there are also third-party tools available that can simplify the EDB to PST conversion process.
