Did you make sure you captured DCs with the FSMO roles you need. Not sure what changes to AD installing a server with the /DR switch needs to make, but if its altering the configuration container and you don't have the infrastructure master role configured then things will most likely cause issues. When I did this recently I also ran into issues with Certificates as I didn't clone a server with certificate services on.... Dave Wade

Subject: exchange restore in DR test environment
We are trying to restore exchange 2003 in a closed DR test
environment.
We have backups of a DC from each domain in our forest.
I've restored them to vms into a closed off ESX box.
They all have the same IP they have in the production
environment.
Our production exchange 2003 server is a cluster server.
WE are trying to install a new exchange 2003 using the DR switch
and having all sorts of issues.
Right now I think the issue is AD related, because the different
DC's don't seem to be playing nice.
From the exchange side to get the /DR switch to work what are
some of the things we should check for?
