As long as Exchange server is the same version (sp's and hotfixes) you can use an older OS server for a restore server or vice-versa (upgrade to newer OS). What you will have to do is after the restore, is defrag the db (it will state it in the app log). Run eseutil /d against the priv, and after it finishes, you'll be able to start the IS.

Since my last test of this procedure I have upgraded my production server to W2k and my restore server is an older NT4 sp6a. Both machines are running 5.5 SP4. The IS will not start after the restore. Perhaps I made some error while following the DR white paper and I am getting ready to uninstall Exchange and start over. Should this procedure be able to work or will it only work if the O/S, Exch Ver and SP are the same Thanks -Dave Vantine _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
