Build a separate mirror AD and Exchange Server (on the same box is fine) for testing purposes. You'd probably be safest doing this on an isolated network.
Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP Freelance E-Mail Philosopher Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cooke, Brian Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 12:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Testing Backups All, Since the subject of mailbox restores have come up. I wanted to ask a "Best Practices" question. We are running exchange 2003 enterprise on a Win 2K3 server. We are looking to do weekly tests of our store level backups that we perform. We have a server that we would like to use as our recovery server, but we're just not sure what the best method to implement this. Thanks in advance for all your help and advice. Thanks Brian Cooke _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
