Hey Jeremy

Still at it man. 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 .

It’s a feature called database portability. Works like a charm if you do it right. Here’s some info about it on TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876873.aspx

Also , it’s really curious how you guys were able to overcome ssid/guid issues since the restoring servers were different names and all that.
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……

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.

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 ring us up if you need any Exchange help in the future. =)

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

Thanks

I am totally impressed. Other examples for how to do this had many more lines of code, and would fail because they were pipelining multiple operations concurrently. This worked great and I learned some useful code tricks. Thanks!
