I have Exchange 2000 installed on Windows 2000 DC with SVCpk4. The server crashed due to hardware failure. My plan is join the server with a same name to the exisiting domain. Since I have another DC. I have done two types of backup for Exchange 2000. Backup agent for Exchange and regular file copy of the mdbdata folder. My question is if i created the stores and database with same name and copy the file backup will the Exchange server start working fine. Thanks...
Hi, Your best option would be to install exchange on the new server with the /disasterrecovery switch and then perform a restore of the information store. If the other backups are offline backups of the mdbdata folder that should work as well.
