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,
