Chris, On Exchange 2000 Microsoft made it a little more difficult to do this. Look here for more detailed info:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/exchange2000/support/dbrecovr.asp By the way, a new Microsoft document that describes quite a bit about Exchange restore and related information written by Jon Hoerlein and Chris Frediani can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/exchange2000/proddocs/onlinebooks/disrec/default.asp (sorry for the long URLs). The paper is called: "Disaster Recovery for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server" and it contains quite a bit of information as well as a good lst of other references for more information at the end of the document. Some of tohse are: Exchange 2000 Server Database Recovery (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=6273) Mailbox Recovery for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=5216) Back up and Restoring Connectors on Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=6272) Exchange 2000 Server Disaster Recovery: Worst-Case Survival Handbook (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=6276) Microsoft Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=6277) Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Never cut what can be untied. - Commit yourself to constant improvement. ========================================================== > All, > > I have been trying to get Exchange 2000 restore working to a different > server name with no luck so far.
