I've had this prob for 2-3 years and every now and then I spend an hour searching for a solution then give up. Now that I'm getting ready to make the move to Winserv 2012 R2 I better sort this prob out before I make the move, don't want to see the prob carried over to new server. I work on a...

Thanks Dean, good to know

Hi Shack, That's good news. I'll take a look at that over vacation, starting Monday. I'm visiting some life long friends who live in Sun Valley but are originally from Gig Harbor, small world huh? One of the telecoms serving our area is rolling out fiber in our area in October and I'll be...

Hi Shack: Any news on when the first major upgrade to Exc2013 is coming? I see WinSer12 is coming out with R2. Scott

Poof! There it is. Thanks Dave. I'm sure I'll be one of the "needy". There seems to be an increasing amount of information from the tech community on Exchange 2013, and Win Serv 2012.

You're right, quite a few out there! I meant here on tek-tips though. Well, just installed new mb and after a few hickups, I've got the board up and just updated the bios. Now that it'll boot, I'm going to install the rest of the ram (just one 4gb stick in for boot up and bios update) and if...

Thanks Dave. I'll be rebuilding the server with the new mb this weekend and reloading winser12 and exchange 2013 again, and continuing test mode. I'm going to follow a different install guide to see how I make out. I'll post my experience. I note there are no folders for Windows Server 2012...

OK, last query on the issue of resurrecting my sbs2008 production server. I've wanted to get the SBS as healthy as possible for the migration over to Serv2012/Exchange2013. The last remaining errors are: 1) Event ID 302 / "The User Accounts cannot be added into GroupPolicy "AllSBSUsers"...

Thanks for the compliment Dave. I assume I'm doing what anyone who has gotten into IT has to do, keep at it until there is a solution. I caught a break and a buddy is coming down next week, so my replacement mb is coming. I'm got my new server in test with winserv2012 and Exchange2013...

Backup sorted. Kept trying different scenarios, but windows could see the drive, sbsbackup could not. After reviewing my options of doing several changes in the registry, and other suggested changes, I found a thread where they were contributing info about brands and models of drives that...

Hi Dave: Thanks for that tip. It didn't seem to apply to my situation. I have the usb external drive connected to the server but have to reboot server for it to see the drive. If I unplug it, and plug it back in, SBS2008 will not see it in "computer" at all. Now that I've rebooted server...

Hi Dave: That is good to know about the migration to WinServ2012/Exch2013. There seems to be lots of "speculation" floating about on that issue. Your assessment with Office 365 is the same conclusion I'd come to when they first came out with it. Unfortunately, the industry I work in is...

Thanks Dave. I was able to get a human and got it sorted. The Server is running and everything is back up. Thanks again, Scott

Hi Dave: That was it. I reset the raid array to "0" and it changed in size from 1.3tb to 1.83tb and the backup restored. It's just come up after 3 hours of restoring (data on 2nd volume took awhile). Now I'm reconfiguring some of the hardware but things are looking good. Thanks so much for...

Dear All/Anyone: Unsuccessful in restoring sbs2008 so far. I've: 1) confirmed through wbadmin that the backup can restore volumes, files, or bare metal restore 2) utilized diskpart to make the raid5 array active (have rebooted after this and tried it without out rebooting). Also checked...

Hi Dave: Update: Plugging the usb external backup into one of my win 7 clients, and using wbadmin with the "get versions" switch shows that the backup is bare metal restore. Backup time: 5/10./2O13 11:00 PM Backup target: 1394/USB Disk labeled Backup Drive 1(\\?\Uolume{8d9?0c68—ef7F—lld...

Hi Dave: Thanks for the referral. I viewed the site then gave their support number in the US a call. Very helpful support guy, and without having previously backed up using their "backupassist" software, their recovery assist software can't work. Following that, he offered some useful advice...

Hi Dave: I searched on "element not found" and found a thread saying if the usb hdd backup drive holding the restore backup is connected during boot up through post, it'll become the "active" drive and bring up that error. I unhooked the drive, booted up through the sbs 2008 install dvd, then...

Hi Dave: Thanks for the info. As per your suggestion I managed to get DiskPart going from the SBS2008 install dvd and saw the raid drive, and the backup drive (attached via usb). I selected the raid drive as the active drive, rebooted and went through recovery procedure once again, and have...

Dear All: Haven't posted on here in a while, everything had been running smoothly. Had a bit of bad luck and I've had a server hardware crash. I do have an SBS2008 backup so should be able to recover. I purchased new hardware and built a new server but prob with mb will have to exchange for...
