My test network includes a BDC built on the live network, then moved to the test network. The restore is done to an Exchange server on the test network which matches the live server. Authentication is provided by the BDC, therefore no renaming of the test Exchange server is required.

I have used 2 machines as well but made the other a PDC. What is your configuration?

The way I've tried to do it is to build DR server similar to roigin in config but not Spec, ie different manufacturers. Installed NT 4 sp6 and made it BDC. Connected the BDC to live network to pull acccount info, having given it a name different to the live Exchange box. Once account info is on box, disconnected from live network and installed Exchang 5.5, sp4 and restored databases. Problem is when I get to the point of rename DR box to live box on the test network the NT accounts disappear and I get stuck. Exchange 5.5 SP4 on Winnt 4 SP6 Any ideas?
