If you're talking about exchange 2000, which it sounds like you are, you have to use a separate forest for your recovery server, you cannot restore to another server in the same forest/e2k org (remember, only 1 e2k org per forest) if the original database is still up. It's not difficult to setup a recovery forest/e2k org, I've done it lots of times. I use 1 machine as the entire forest, it's the DC/GC and the e2k restore server all-in-one. The big caveats you need to remember is the exchange org name, the Administrative Group name, the store name (i.e. "Mailbox Store (e2kservername)" or "Public Folder Store (e2kservername)") and the file name of the database (i.e. SG1-PRIV1.edb) all have to match the production environment, although the file location (c:\exchsrvr\mdbdata) itself doesn't have to match. After that follow the directions for the backup software you're using.

But it is not a big deal to quickly build AD on the same machine that will be the recovery server. I like my recoveries to be separate from production. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 2:52 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovery Server: Public Folders Could you stop all replication so that the old information doesn't get replicated throughout?

Normally you should create a separate AD for the recovery environment (you could get away with doing it in the same AD if you were only recovering a single mailbox). I am afraid that in case of recovering PFs, the recovered PF store is going to start replicating with the other servers' PF stores and it could get messy. Just build a separate AD, what's the big deal? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bowles, John (OIG/OMP) Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 2:09 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Recovery Server: Public Folders All, We need to restore a public store from backup without overwriting what is already resident in our public folders. I was thinking about setting up a recovery server within our organization and just re-direct the restore job to this recovery server. I know in some of the white papers it suggest that you create a separate AD for the recovery server for mailboxes. But this is for public folders. Will I be able to do this, since it's public folders? Or am I just going to have to break down and create a separate AD?
