Check the disaster recovery whitepapers (someone else has already provided a link) - I think when you install on the recovery server and you want to use the same name, you need to use the same Org and site name but create a new site, not join the existing site.
Been a while and I could be wrong - check the white papers to be sure.

Tried getting it to boot, tried a repair but it looks like the controller is the culprit. The server is running NT 4.0 with sp 6a. I have tried reviving the server but no luck. I have a full backup of exchange and I need to get this restored onto a new server. The problem is that when I try to install exchange to the new server (which now has the name and IP of the old server) the install tells me that the server already exists in the site (attempted joining the existing site) OF COURSE! Anyway are there any suggestions on getting the old server exchange backup restored to the new server? Thanks Loads!
