RE: [ActiveDir] seize schema master question

[Jorge de Almeida Pinto]

A DR test... interesting. I have created such a procedure once for one of my customers...damn what a rush! ;-)   Is this W2K or W2K3 AD? What are the errors or notifications you have experienced when trying to install exchange?   Cheers, #JORGE#   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pelle, Joe Sent: maandag 2 mei 2005 13:25 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] seize schema master question Hello!   Our company recently went through a DR test and had some interesting results.  One in particular is that we couldn’t get Exchange installed because it couldn’t write to the Schema (schema master was not restored).  Here is my question:  we have an empty root (where the schema master lives) that we did NOT restore… and we have our primary domain where users and Exchange lives (this is the domain that we restored).  Could I have seized the Schema master role and moved it to the restored (child domain) or should we have restore the root?   I am going to try this in the lab this week but I wanted some feedback – past experiences, how some of you would recommend doing this, etc. As always, Thanks!   Joe Pelle Senior Infrastructure Architect Information Technology Valassis / IT 19975 Victor Parkway Livonia, MI 48152 Tel 734.591.7324  Fax 734.632.6151 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.valassis.com/   This message may include proprietary or protected information.
