Hi, I'm having grief with Windows Server 2008 and Exchange - current problem is Windows Server 2008 is stuck at 0% of Configuring updates, and I have my doubts it will ever run again. I have managed to copy the entire Exchange Server folder from Program Files\Microsoft to another drive, and am attempting to dcpromo another machine to be the global catalogue server if I can. If I can do the above, and I complete reformat and rebuild the server, can I (after reinstalling Exchange 2007) simply "copy" back the database? I have no other backups available. Dino

It's never a good idea to declare "sky falling" on the application because the os is acting up. I don't suppose you even want to hear the old "did you back up before doing the updates" routine.
