If you do not have a backup system, in the event of a
disaster you cannot recover anything. Only restore from CD. I do not believe
any company values its data so little.
Your PRIME job as a sys adm is to insist on a backup
strategy. It's obviously a small company, so for god's sake, we're not talking
megabucks. A cheap DAT drive is only £350. A jaz drive is less than £200. If
they refuse to pay for it, tell them that it's fine. Then re-install exchange
from scratch, re-setting up all the users. If the business makes a decision not
to invest in this area, that is their job. Yours is to make sure they are fully
aware of the consequences of that decision. Direct anyone who complains at the
idiot who refused you the money.

The problem is that the company is too cheap to buy a
backup system. Not
knowing that it will cost them more in the long run for the system
to be
down and to bring someone in to restore or recover it. they are so
cheap
that the servers don't even have CD drives, so i have to copy CD
over
the network to the server. Go Figure.
Anyway, i am going to uninstall Exchange then re-install with the
new
service account. My plan is to then stop the services and either
replace
the whole exchsvr folder or just the priv & pub .edb files.
What would
be easier, it has been years since I have had to restore an
Exchange
server and I don't remember the procedure. If possible I would
like to
restore both the accounts & the data but i would happy with
just the
data. I know the Org & site names so the re-install shouldn't
be the
problem. After I copy the folder or files back over all I should
have to
do is run the consistency checker, correct? Am I missing anything?
What
is the best resource to follow for a restore procedure such as
this?

Don't forget the
person(s) responsible for not having a complete
disaster
recovery plan in place.

Hello All,
I need some major help in repairing or
rebuilding an
Exchange server. The
server is running Win2K SP2 with Exchange
5.5 SP4.
Someone in the company
tried removing old accounts and wound up
removing
the account that the
Exchange services were using. Now I don't
have all
the details but it was
mentioned at one point that the PDC was
rebuilt.
Now all of the Exchange
services wont start except for the SA &
DS. When
trying to start the IS I
get the following messages: Event Type:
Error
Event Source:
MSExchangeIS Event Category: General
Event ID: 5000
Date: 11/6/2001
Time: 3:42:26 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MAIL
Description:
Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange
Information
Store service. Error
0xfb5.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeIS
Event Category: General
Event ID: 1121
Date: 11/6/2001
Time: 3:42:26 PM
User: N/A
Computer: MAIL
Description:
Error 0xfb5 connecting to the Microsoft Exchange
Server
Directory Service.
I tried recreating the services account but it
doesn't
work because the SIDS
are now different. I know that you have to
change
the service account in
the Exchange Admin but i can't connect to
the
server because of the
services. I am searching thru Technet now
but
haven't found anything
so i decided to ask you guys for some
help. Any
clue on what I should do
or where i should start?
