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,

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!
