The server names do not have to be the same to restore the 5.5 information
store.
If they are different then you can not restore the directory.

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...

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.....
