We are trying to do a disaster recovery test by rebuilding our Exchange 2007 lab from the ground up. We have recovered the Exchange 2007 Hub Transport Server. Now, we are trying to recover our Exchange 2007 Clustered Mailbox Servers.
We have setup the Windows 2003 Cluster. Now, we are going to the first node of the cluster and typing in.... Exsetup.exe /RecoverCMS /CMSName:clustered_server /CMSIPAddress:x.x.x.x It starts to run the setup, but then displays this message. Cannot specify installation mode sine no Exchange Server is installed on this machine. Try to install Exchange first. To run the requested installation mode, you must specify the SourceDir parameter. (I did an exsetup.exe /? But I did not found a SourceDir parameter???) If we try to just run the..... Setup.com /M:RecoverServer To install Exchange first, we get this message..... Cannot specify installation mode since no Exchange Server is installed on this machine. Try to Install Exchange first. The requested clustered mailbox server (CMS) name is not found in Active Directory. CMS should pe present in the Active Directory to recover. (I have checked Active Directory, and the CMS name is indeed present). I'm perplexed. Can anybody help?
