There are white papers that cover this in depth. What you probably want to search for is "dialtone recovery" on support.microsoft.com. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dialtone+recovery+site%3Asupport.mi crosoft.com The first 3 hits look good.

Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Bill Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 10:36 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Basic Recovery Info I need to have a temporary recovery plan for Exchange until later in the year when we will be purchasing a more permanent solution. For now if my (single) Exchange server is lost, I will have to build another 'recovery' server and restore the information store from tape to that server. I've been unable to find documentation on this anywhere and a call to MS wasn't much help as they wanted me to do clustering as a recovery method or install Double Take. These are options for later in the year but because of budgeting constraints I have to use the this temporary method. Has anyone had to do this and if so, is there documentation you can recommend? For example, do I need to run forest and/or domain prep before I install exchange on the recovery server? I would name the recovered server the same as the lost server with the same IP address so Outlook clients would be able to connect...are there any caveats in doing that? The environment is W2K3, Ex2003 all fully patched (including the recovery server). Clients are both O2K3 and O2K7 all on fully patched XP boxes. Thanks for any help you can lend.
