Dude, WTF did you do that for? We need a lot more config info, dr in e2k is a frickin dream, it automates a lot of the cmd line in e55. You cannot just copy the mdbs anyway, and voila it’s a little more involved then that. The reason you can easily restore from ntbackup is cuz those guys @ Redmond automated the needed mdb utilities for you! Post old, and current machine config. You should have called PSS first before you even touched the box if you hadn’t already known the correct steps. I have only not been able to fix one exchange server in my life, my first I ever built! That was to hard a lesson, and a lot of people were not happy about the one day of lost mail, and I was unhappy about recreating the dir in e55! “Back the sh!t up outta everything” was my new motto.   It sounds as if you inherited someone else’s mess… Iether way, she sounds messy…. Get back to us with all the needed info. Are there any logs left?   Jlc   Ps. You should have talked to Kevin first! HAHAHA sorry…   -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 12:09 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Restore E2k.     Came across a blown up Exchange 2000 server that wouldnt let the services start with error 1038. Basically copied out the mdbdata directory and removed (manual remove process) and did a clean install, much like I would an ex5.5. To no avail, Im unable to get these mdbs back online. I scoured all over the mskb,support,swynk,technet,slipstick and found nothing really going over restoring from backup except when using ntbackup..
