I have a crashed SBS 2000 server - don't we all? I can still get to the data, so I would like to reinstall on a brand new HD and then just transfer the Exchange data. Any Buddy knows about an article on how to succesfully acheive that?
Not sure on SBS but I just posted the steps a few minutes ago for someone else on here. But anyways here they are again
1. Perform a full backup of all Exchange Storage Groups, and the Site Replication Service on the current Exchange Server.
2. Take the current server offline.
3. Reset the machine account for the Exchange Server.
4. Bring the new server online, either rename or install using the same server name. Make sure drives are setup the same. At least have the same letters with enough space as original server.
5. Log into the new server with a Full Exchange Administrator account. (Administrator)
6. Install any necessary components required for Exchange 2000, such as IIS and Windows 2000 Service Pack 1 or 2. Along with Q301625 also know as MS01-044
7. Run Exchange 2000 setup with the following parameter, Setup /disasterrecovery, Be sure to select Action-Disaster Recovery for the Message and Collaborative services and Exchange System Management Tools.
8. After setup completes apply any hotfixes or service packs for Exchange.
9. In Separate restore jobs, restore Storage Groups and the Site Replication Service from the Exchange Server backup.
10. Mount all stores after restores are completed. Verify client connectivity and mail flow. Dan
