It will be the original site when you get the DR done. Take a look at the DR white papers on the MS site, they will walk you right through this. http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/administration/55/BackupRestore.a sp

Follow-on to the below. I have found MS Article 155216 which pretty much describes what I think I need to do. However, I'm still not clear on the new site thing. If I create a new site with the same org and site name, copy the priv, pub, & dir to their correct locations, how does the server rejoin the original site? Thanks again.

Greetings: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Windows NT4 SP6 SRP Just for fun, my server decided to give me a "no boot device found" error when I started it up this morning. I ensured the RAIDs were all good, then called Dell tech support. He had me boot from a 2000 CD and examine the "C" drive which has empty except for a couple of dirs. He suggested I try a repair or parallel install. Hindsight, what I was actually looking at was the D: partition, but I've already reinstalled the OS so it doesn't really matter now. The question. I have my priv and pub still intact and would like to reinstall Exchange and simply move these DBs back to their original locations. Is this possible? I found an article from Rich Matheison on how to do this, but he has the server built in a new site with the same org and site name. How would I get it back to the original site? Should I delete the old server name from the site then install exchange and move the DBs? I'm stuck and the clock is ticking! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
