I have installed exchange 5.5 on to another pc given it the correct name, orgainisation and site and I have serviced packed it with sp3. I have retored the Directory services and information store sucessfully on to this machine and then copied (exchange 5.5 cd)from the bootenvr\*.* to the d:\exchsrvr\mtadata and restarted but my IS service will not start (event error 7024 or 7005). Can anyone point out to me where I'm going wrong.
