Subject: Disaster Recovery Test -Failure to start the IS service
Hello,
I decided to do a DR test today but unfortunately could not get the IS
service to start after the restore. Below are my steps in the exact
order: Current Exchange server running 5.5 with sp4 on a windows 2k server
1.Setup a separate Lan and promoted a bdc that I took off from our existing
network to a pdc.
2.Ran setup of Exchange 5.0. Did not join existing domain. 3.Gave the
server the same name as the orginal exchange server, the same site and
organization names as the existing exchange server. (Understanding that the
site and organization names are case-sensitive) 4.Created a new site.
5.Selected the same service account as the original exchange server
6.Did a directory Import from the most current directory.csv file 7.Upgraded
recovery server to Exchange 5.5 then SP 4. (same as original
server)
8.Ran MS Exchange performance optimizer
9.Deleted and re-added the computer name on the pdc to create a new sid.
(After readding computer I was forced to remove the recovery server from the
domain and then re-add it to the domain) 10.Installed MS Outlook on recovery
server. 11.Performed the restore using the last full backup tape (Used
Veritas Backup Exec ver 8.6). Restored only the Information Store not the
Directory since that was already imported in step 6.
(Note: I normally do a brick level backup so the tape consisted of the
Directory store, Info store, and part of the individual mailboxes. The
second tape contained the remainder of the mailboxes) The info store was
approximately 33gb. 12.Restored both Priv and Pub data by selecting them on
the Exchange tab in Veritas backup exec ver 8.6.
13. Once the restore was completed the Diretory, MTA, System Attendent all
started but the Info store would not start. Also I could not do an isinteg
-patch because it could not find the IS database.
14. I manually tried to start the IS service but received the error: Windows
could not start the MS IS service on the local computer and to check the
Event viewer for more info. The Event Viewer said: MS IS service
terminated with server specific error 4294966266.
15. Im going to check the knowledge base regarding this error but im
curious if any has ever come across this? Did I not do a step right? Should
I have not imported the Directory store in step 6? Im a little stumped as
to what I did wrong causing the IS not to start.
Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks,
