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.

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..... > > HTH > > JoeP > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sun 3/30/2003 10:18 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Cc: > Subject: Re: Strange Exchange 5.5 Windows 2000 Question > > > > 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. > > > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > From: "Ted Mosher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2003 19:55:46 -0500 > > >Strange question for anyone who may have tried this... > > > >Can you restore an Exchange 5.5 server that was backed up with Backup > >Exec with the Exchange Option from an NT4.0 server to a copy of Exchange > >5.5 (same site/org) but running on a Windows 2000 server with the same > >domain - Here is the catch - but the domain has been upgraded to AD. > > > >I tried it and get Jet Errors when I try Isinteg -Patch.. > > > >Has anyone every done this?
