Trying to recreate the network on two isolated machines , one with the DC and one with the EXCH because on the EXCH that just crashed I had also the dc on it( I know , I know) . I installed the DC and the exchange on the same machine with thoughts that I would move it later on a separate machine or de-promote the dc and leaving only the exch on it. Got caught up in other stuff , as everyone usually does , postponed it ..... and now I couldn't restore the machine back so I had to import the pst's to another exchange and now I'm trying to remove the dead exch from the org , which is also a pain. Will keep you posted . Hey Jeremy

Got caught up in other stuff , as everyone usually does , postponed it ….. and now I couldn’t restore the machine back so I had to import the pst’s to another exchange and now I’m trying to remove the dead exch from the org , which is also a pain.
Will keep you posted .

I gotta read up more on it but you make it sound really simple, too simple to work in my book . When you try to re-mount/restore a DB belonging to EXCH01 on EXCH02 it's not gonna work , haven't done it though. I am trying it as we speak , installing exchange on a member server and will try to remount the db from a backup . We'll see......

Nope, we'd never done it with 2010 before. I don't think many had at this point as it was still in beta. Feel free to <a href="http://cohesivelogic.com" rel="nofollow">ring us up</a> if you need any Exchange help in the future. =) There were two of us directly involved and a few store developers (we were consultants working with the Exchange team at the time) to sanity check our steps.

Let me ask you another question. How many people were involved in the recovery and if they've done it before ? Thanks Nice…. Let me ask you another question.
