tdpexcc restoremailbox "MailboxA" /MailboxFilter="folder,folderA"

Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI) Client and Collaboration Data Objects (CDO)
The MAPI/CDO library is not supported with Microsoft Exchange 2016. The MAPI/CDO Changes table describes the impact of this change in your Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Exchange Server solution.

MAPI configuration checks using configuration wizard | When you configure FlashCopy Manager for Exchange on the MMC using the configuration wizard, the system automatically runs a number of checks to verify that the Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects are correctly installed. | Not supported with Microsoft Exchange 2016, therefore MAPI configuration checks are skipped. |
