Not sure about Exchange but it is probably like SQL Server 7 in that it really does not like name changes especially if you are in the 5.5 range. You will probalbly have to install exchange with the production name then restore. More of a Microsoft thing than a Tivoli thing.

I have multiple exchange servers with TDP on them. I have another Exchange server used for DR purposes only. I would like to restore one of the Exchange servers to my DR Exchange server. I went into the TDPExchange/dsm.opt and changed the node name to the name of one of the production servers, and was able to restore the production servers data. Now my problem, getting Exchange to start. The services are not starting. Any suggestions? ... or a completely different procedure? I must be able to do this so I can complete the acceptance testing to de-commission a BackupEXEC server we are using for Exchange (everything else that was on BackupEXEC is on TSM now!) TIA ...
