When you are restoring 5.5 you need to do the install as if it is going
into a new site. Make sure you get the spelling of the old site and org
exact including capitalization. Then run your restore.

No, it was added after but I'm not sure that W002 was the first either.
I just know that it was there before W001 and it is the oldest server in
the site.

Was W001 the first server in the site?

<deep breath...>
I have a tricky problem that I need some advice on. I have two primary
Exchange servers, w001 and w002, both in the same site. W002 has our
IMS, public folders and most user mailboxes on it. W001 has about 20
mailboxes on it, no PF's and no IMS.
A couple of days ago, W001 blue screened and died. Despite best efforts
I have been unable to get it back up. The OS is on a RAID1 array, the
log files are on a seperate RAID1 array and the stores on a RAID5 array.
I have two problems here. One is the recovery of the data from the RAID
5 array. The other is this:
If I reinstall the OS and Exchange, it won't let me connect the new
server to the site with the server name W001. It wants me to delete the
server W001 from the existing site first. Currently on W002 there is
about 1000 items in the MTA waiting for the W001 server to come back on
line. It is REALLY important that I don't lose this data. I suspect that
if I delete W001 from the site, the stuff in the MTA on W002 will get
binned also.
So......any suggestions?
