If all you want to do is make sure the public folders live SOMEWHERE, then you can import the recovered folders to PST and then import them into your production AD.

RE: Restore Public Folders to an alternate server
This was my original plan (similar to single mailbox restore): 1. Restore PF store from tape to alternate server 2. Mount the restored store 3. Connect with Outlook to the alternate server and export the PFs to PST 4. Import PST into the production server However the alternate Exchange server has its own active directory that does not have the same Microsoft Exchange System Objects container as the producion system. The PFs live in that container. So the alternative AD does not have these PFs listed and they do not show up in Outlook. -Original Message- From: Harmon, Michelle M.

RE: Restore Public Folders to an alternate server
Ok, I have figured it out if anyone is interested. There are two ways of making it work. After you restore PUB1.EDB and PUB1.STM to an alternate server and mount the PF store, al the public folders will show up in Exchange System Manager. But you won't see them in Outlook yet. To make the visible in Outlook, do: A. Create a new public top-level public folder on the alternate Exchange server. Then move one of the restored public folders into the new folder. Then right-click on the new folder and select All Tasks/Propagate Settings/Folder Rights. After it rips through, move the restored public folder back into the original location. OR B. Create a new public top-level public folder on the alternate Exchange server. Then COPY one of the restored public folders into the new folder. Delete the original restored public folder and move its copy from the new top level folder back to the original location.

RE: Restore Single Mailbox
Thanks for the replies. (I hadn't come across this Q in my searching - many thanks.) Trouble is that I had restarted the IS before I read this Q article! [= consistent IS up to last backup, but not the post-backup transactions]. Restore - even with the Restore in Progress key LOOKS through the post-backup Logs but doesn't play them. My boss thinks there's something which says they have been played already so don't bother playing them again. [?] I have created a new IS from the tape so I don't think they have been played at all against this IS. The data is not in the IS. I was thinking that since the post-backup logs were copied manually there is nothing to tell Exchange 'old' and 'new' database paths like the reg key does, so the logs want to play into a dbase on G: (original drive) while the actual IS I'm restoring to is on an F: drive. Could this be possible? The users concerned were less than over the moon to have lost half a day's email but they've left us now! I've got time to try this again (with a smaller database this time). It seems the most imporatant thing is NOT to start the IS until, well, one knows exactly what one is doing! Thanks again.

RE: Restore distribution lists
Thank you all for the replies. I ended up Calling tech support since I DID restore, and my IS wouldn't start (before I got these emails from y'all). I used my online Veritas backup. Stopped all services, Renamed dir.edb, ran the restore of the Exchange directory using Veritas, tried to start IS...no good. Renamed the restored dir.edb, renamed the original back to dir.edb..still no IS. Called Tech support, and for some reason the service account didn't have rights. I gave it proper rights again, and it worked. Folks were complaining after this of mail sitting in the out box...rebooted the server, and it fixed that.

Re: restore exchange to different hardware
Iam not sure if the hardware really matters, what you can do is setup your server as similar as possible to the old server i.e. logs/db etcpaths should be the same. Restore the databases (online) making sure that Org/site names are the same, also makesure that in the registry that RestoreInProgress key is pointing to teh correct locations. Then start the services. You do not have to do a isinteg -patch for online restores. If its Offline , thehn its pretty straight forwards provided your backups are realiable.

RE: restore exchange to different hardware
Hello, I think it has gotten more complicated than 5.5, especially for different hardware. If you're going by the DR doc, light candles, make sacrifices, etc... that you'll be able to restore the System State to your different hardware. They have updated the E2K DR doc from the original one. The new version of the E2K Disaster Recovery Doc (looks like released in March of this year) gives more warning of this than the earlier August 2000 DR doc, and some tips about using Safe mode, etc The DR Mailbox Recovery Doc http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/MailboxRecovery.doc goes into more about recovering a server without restoring the System State, and what attributes you may need to modify. It does not appear to have been updated since the original August 2000 release.

You just need the same O/S and Exchange level (version, sp etc). The only thing that might go wrong in your case is that the previous system had a multiprocessor HAL, and the new one will be single proc HAL.

RE: Restore challenge
You can obviously do this, but there are a lot of concerns. First off, what would cause a corruption so bad that you need to restore? It's usually something flaky with the disk subsystem. So, if you restore to the same box, you simply are asking for trouble. Of course, you can try to diagnose and fix the hardware problem first and then perform the restore but that will be a rather lenghty outage for your clients. You've got to know what your SLAs are and devise a recovery strategy that will allow you to meet that. If it requires you to purchase additional hardware, than that's what you need to do. I really prefer to have a standby server ready to go with sufficient disk space, but YMMV.

RE: Restore challenge
Well, the question I posed to management is, How important is it that in the event of a crash that you bring it up to the time of failure? They said they are expecting to lose a days worth of data. I'm a consultant here, so I really don't think the company knows or understands what they are saying is okay. I have been trying to draw this attention to my manager to make sure that we are covered. Like I told him If the company is ok with it, I am ok with it. The other administrator here started debating with me about the fact that it doesn't matter because he would recover everything back to the production box that crashes. I didn't agree this was good practice. I was attempting to get the management to upgrade the restore server. With this debate I'm having with the other admin is causing my boss to think we are covered. That's why I was posting this. -Original Message- From: Andrew Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 12:55 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject:RE: Restore challenge Are you saying that you don't have enough $$ to spend on bigger storage?

RE: Restore challenge
Nobody called you stupid. Having a recovery server is a great idea. Recovering to the original server is not always an option. Sure, if you blow the IS to smithereens, why not? But what about hardware failures? What if you need a mailbox from an ex employee that left 2 months ago? What about testing? In all those cases, a restore server is going to come in real handy. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 10:48 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Restore challenge I know this seems like a rather stupid question.

RE: Restore challenge
I guess if a scenario came up and the database was corrupted you would just need enough space to run the utilities against the database to fix it. So I guess your production box would work if you have double the space available to run your utilities against it. I don't know. I have never practiced this way. For restore of user mailboxes.. yes, I can use an old restore box that is a clunker. For disaster recovery of a corrupt database no or more serious problem, I always had a server that was identical to my production box so I could swap the boxes out in the case of a serious problem. -Original Message- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 1:04 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject:RE: Restore challenge Nobody called you stupid. Having a recovery server is a great idea. Recovering to the original server is not always an option. Sure, if you blow the IS to smithereens, why not? But what about hardware failures?

RE: Restore problem on Exchange 5.5 - dir will not start
Ed C. asks: The server you're restoring to has the same organization and site name as your production environment but was installed without joining the site, right? === Well... yes an no. When I first created the environment I did so following the DR whitepaper which says: 4. Select Create New Site (do not select Join Existing Site). 5. Use the same organization and site names. And from part 2: Question 35: If I have a good backup of the directory and information store and I am restoring a server to an existing site by reinstalling Exchange, should I select Create New Site or Join Existing Site during the Exchange installation? Answer: Be sure to select Create New Site. Do not select Join Existing Site. When you restart the server after restoring the databases, the restored server automatically synchronizes with existing servers in the site-even when you select Create New Site. If you attempt to Join Existing Site, you will receive an error because other servers in the site already have knowledge of the server you are restoring (its name matches the name of the crashed server). So I did that on all four machines using a Jan 1 backup... Directory connections work fine at that point (make a change on one and replicated out). It wasn't until I restored to December 13th that I had a problem. And all I did for that restore was a restore from an online backup (using Backup Exec). When that failed... I thought maybe it had to do with a bad exchange install so at this point I did uninstall and reinstall exchange (using above directiongs) and re-ran the restore. I finally got the one server to work by turning off the other directories. I agree that the directories would not co-exist or replicate... but where was my mistake. Am I misreading the DR. document? Obviously something went wrong... but I would like to figure out what my misstep was before it becomes a production issue. Appreciate your time Ed.

Currently it's setup in a pretty precise mirror image of what i have in production. 4 Exchange servers, same site, same org. I had to do a restore on one of the servers yesterday and bring it back to December 13th (yup... they deleted a file that fell outside of our 21 day recover deleted items window!). Anyway, after the restore from December 13th--the directory service wouldn't start, I finally got it to start by shutting down the other 3 exchange servers... and then the dir service started on the restored system. I could also start the exchange services on the other 3 systems. However, I still cannot shutdown the service on the restored exchange server and restart the directory service. No error event logs just the took too long to start error message on the Win2k server. The event log just shows a startup and a shutdown of the directory service. I thought it might have to do with the old date of the restore so I restored the server with the original dir and info store from Jan 1. Same result. Any ideas? All servers are Windows 2000 Server, sp2 Exchange 5.5 sp4 Did install ADC (from ex sp2 cd) on one of the AD servers in the testnetwork... although the service is stopped in all scenarios.

I had to do a restore on one of the servers yesterday and bring it back to December 13th (yup... they deleted a file that fell outside of our 21 day recover deleted items window!). Anyway, after the restore from December 13th--the directory service wouldn't start, I finally got it to start by shutting down the other 3 exchange servers... and then the dir service started on the restored system. I could also start the exchange services on the other 3 systems. However, I still cannot shutdown the service on the restored exchange server and restart the directory service. No error event logs just the took too long to start error message on the Win2k server. The event log just shows a startup and a shutdown of the directory service. I thought it might have to do with the old date of the restore so I restored the server with the original dir and info store from Jan 1. Same result. Any ideas? All servers are Windows 2000 Server, sp2 Exchange 5.5 sp4 Did install ADC (from ex sp2 cd) on one of the AD servers in the testnetwork... although the service is stopped in all scenarios.

RE: Restore problem on Exchange 5.5 - dir will not start
What you're seeing should absolutely not happen. Exchange doesn't go out and look for other servers. Something somebody did joined that server to your existing site.

When I first created the environment I did so following the DR whitepaper which says: 4. Select Create New Site (do not select Join Existing Site). 5. Use the same organization and site names. And from part 2: Question 35: If I have a good backup of the directory and information store and I am restoring a server to an existing site by reinstalling Exchange, should I select Create New Site or Join Existing Site during the Exchange installation? Answer: Be sure to select Create New Site. Do not select Join Existing Site. When you restart the server after restoring the databases, the restored server automatically synchronizes with existing servers in the site-even when you select Create New Site. If you attempt to Join Existing Site, you will receive an error because other servers in the site already have knowledge of the server you are restoring (its name matches the name of the crashed server). So I did that on all four machines using a Jan 1 backup... Directory connections work fine at that point (make a change on one and replicated out). It wasn't until I restored to December 13th that I had a problem. And all I did for that restore was a restore from an online backup (using Backup Exec). When that failed... I thought maybe it had to do with a bad exchange install so at this point I did uninstall and reinstall exchange (using above directiongs) and re-ran the restore. I finally got the one server to work by turning off the other directories. I agree that the directories would not co-exist or replicate... but where was my mistake. Am I misreading the DR. document? Obviously something went wrong... but I would like to figure out what my misstep was before it becomes a production issue. Appreciate your time Ed.

RE: Restore
Why BLB = BAD. A true tale from my last company. After 3 months of banging their heads, the idiots at a remote site got BLB restores to work in test. So they ran it on the production box. I was adamant that the Exchange online backup be run first. That took about 2-3 hours. The BLB took over 12 hours. So, the VP needed a message restored from the previous day that was shift-deleted. Can't do it yet. BLB was still in progress. He has to wait. The next day, they restore his mailbox. And the message was not there! VP is unhappy. So they go to the next day's tape (a day later). Still no message. Seems like it came and went between BLB's. VP is now beyond irate. Calls the CIO. Who calls me. I have DumpsterAlwaysOn. Go into VP's mailbox and give him his message in 2 minutes. Oh yes, most of their problems were permissions/UghServe related. So the full restore did not work. While they had practiced restores, they never opened a mailbox. Just accepted the logging information that the restore was complete. Do not waste your time on BLB. Deleted Items Retention, DumpsterAlwaysOn on an admin workstation, Circular logging OFF. Practice restores. Read the FAQ. Sleep easy. And keep the untrained away from the server.

RE: Restore of directory.
Moving the directory around would not fix the -1018 error because moving the database to a different drive will not fix corruption. The -1018 errors are usually caused by faulty hardware, but poor administrative practices can help these occur, for instance, not properly shutting down servers before turning off the power.

Hi all, Exchange 5.5 on NT 4. Veritas Backup Exec and TSM/ADSM backup solution. We had some issues recently where we had a corrupted directory on a server and I had a brain cramp in implementing the restore. Looking back, it was definitely an oversight on my part, however even after the 20/20 hindsight, I see no easy way around the problem. We were doing service pack updates on all of our servers from NT SP4 to NT SP6a and then from Exchange SP2 to SP4. Prior to packing the servers I had an online and offline back available. This was server number 18 out of 19. Work had been commencing over a 3 month period and all our servers are on Compaq proliants with the same h/w and s/w configuration. Installed both NT SP6a and Exchange SP4 on this particular server with no unusual entries in the event logs. However on the next backup of the directory using backup exec, started getting the following -1018 errors: Event Type: Error Event Source: ESE97 Event Category: Database Page Cache Event ID: 118 Date: 8/12/2001 Time: 11:50:27 AM User: N/A Computer: CAEEXP01 Description: MSExchangeDS (471) Direct read found corrupted page (25075) with error -1018. Please restore the databases from a previous backup. The indication in technet was that there is a hardware issue. At that point, using perfopt, moved the directory around to different physical/logical hard drives. Also ran the eseutil with the verify switch. Moving the directory around still caused the above error and the eseutil program returned no errors. At this point I tried using the TSM/ADSM backup solution that we were rolling out and this caused the same -1018 error. This pretty much told me that there was no issue with the backup solution and sort of exonerated the h/w. At this point I decided to do a restore of the directory from the last good backup I had, which was the night prior to the service pack work. I placed the tape in and kicked of the restore. Now for all of you reading along, this is where you go You can't do that. The braincramp is that the server is at NT SP6a and Exchange SP4 now and the backup set is at NT SP4 and Exchange SP2. The disaster recovery whitepaper specifically states that the service pack levels need to be the same as the backed up copy. I also realized that after I kicked of the restore. The restore finished successfully and all I need to do was start the directory. At this point, I said just let me see what happens. I had an online and offline backup of the corrupted directory and could return to the point I was prior to doing the restore. After starting the directory it started replaying log files and the came up with the following error: Event Type: Error Event Source: ESE97 Event Category: Logging/Recovery Event ID: 134 Date: 8/25/2001 Time: 2:22:18 PM User: N/A Computer: CAEEXP01 Description: (501) The database s:\exchsrvr\DSADATA\dir.edb created at 10/22/1997 20:51:54 was not recovered. After that, I got a bunch of table rebuilds indicating that something was aware that the restored directory was NT SP4 and the OS was now NT SP6a. After that everything came up smoothly. No errors anywhere in sight. I then performed a backup and it worked w/o and errors on both backup exec and the TSM/ADSM backups. I really don't understand the above error. Anybody have any insights on that one? I guess my question is, is the directory all right or should I run as fast as I can to the server an turned it off before it poisons my entire organization.

RE: Restore of Exchange 5.5 But Not Mail Account Access
Hi: I also forgot to notice that when I double clicked on the mailbox resource and received an error: The object cannot be found in the directory. This is because replication has not completed. c1010aae This is a stand alone server for restores only so I am wondering how do I get around this issue? I have searched the Swynk archives but I have not found anything. Thank you, Erik L.

I did the rehoming of PF's, did the IS/DS consistency adjuster and rean the isinteg -patch. Any other ideas?

Erik, You didn't resore the directory, did you?

RE: Restore of Exchange 5.5 But Not Mail Account Access
Is Admin the service account? I don't see to what extent you did a restore, or I'm just missing it, but if it is, is this ADMIN the same GUID as the old one? Maybe http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q152/8/08.ASP can help, in case it's confused. One of those things where I delete Joe CEO's account, and even if I create another account named JOECEO, it's not the same GUID and therefore I'm still fired. If that ain't it, I fold. -Original Message- From: Erik Vesneski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: Monday, August 27, 2001 9:04 PM Posted To: MSExchange Mailing List Conversation: Restore of Exchange 5.5 But Not Mail Account Access Subject: RE: Restore of Exchange 5.5 But Not Mail Account Access Hi: Yes, that was all that was restored just the stores.
