I've done a restore of an Exch 5.5 DB from NT4 to a differnt Win2K box, but never
after AD was in place... Didn't have any real trouble with it... Don't think AD
would be too much of a problem though since Exch 5.5 isn't AD aware and should just
try to talk to the AD like an NT4 domain...
Anyway, that's a moot point... Make sure you've got the same SP level on both Exch
boxes, plus any hotfixes, etc... Plus remember that the Win2K box has to have the
same name as the old NT4 box that the backup came from... You didn't specify in your
original mail that it did, so I'm just making sure you've got that point in place.....
If memory serves, you'll get errors running isinteg if the server names are different
and of course you won't be able to mount the store.....

Do an offline defragmentation with eseutil and see then if you can start the
store.
Exchange doesnt like restorations to different SP or O/S levels.
