Change of plan. What if I create a new CAS/HUB/Mailbox server with a new mailbox and recovery database, and do a Dial Tone Recovery? That should work, shouldn't it?

I've installed Exchange on the server and the EMC brings up the names of my original databases (on the DAGs, which of course are all failed). I can't remove them using EMC or Powershell because Exchange thinks they're still out there somewhere. I had to remove the server using adsiedit, so I'm thinking that the mailbox databases are in there as well and would be deleted in a similar manner? I thinking that I need to do this if I restore the database from tape it will restore the database under the original name. If so, the way around this would be to restore to a recovery mailbox, then copy the files to the new database and log directories and rename them to the new names.

Well if it worked, it definitely would have been simple. So in this case I would be looking at putting on a fresh install and using the procedure described in Database Portability? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926 -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

I guess, in this case, I would question why you seem so insistent on using recoverserver? -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 4:48 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recover 2010 DAG CAS?HUB/Mailbox member to a single CAS/HUB/Mailbox server? What we're looking at is the worst possible scenario in which everything was gone. In this case we would be doing a tape restore of our environment at our DR site. So if the Exchange environment was gone, then we'd have to start somewhere. Obviously there's a problem with using /m:recoverserver because it's looking for DAG members that no longer exist. But if the environment was completely gone, you have to start with a recovery of a single server, right? -----Original Message----- From: Stringham, Steven [mailto:sstri...@lrlaw.com] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 3:18 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recover 2010 DAG CAS?HUB/Mailbox member to a single CAS/HUB/Mailbox server? It really depends also on what you mean by "recover". If it is that you need to get the DAG back online and in use, that is one thing (I won't go into that). If you just want the data from it, and will be able to bring the mailbox back online elsewhere, that is another story. I "recover" DAGS all the time - but just for exporting the contents of a particular mailbox (someone deleted something and I need it back). I am using a Netapp SAN, and snapshot the DAGs regularly. I am able to bring one of these snapshots back to another server, copy over the log files from that snapshot timeframe, and then use NetApp's mailbox recovery tool. I am then able to export any of the data (down to a single email if I want or all of a whole mailbox) to either the online DAG or to a PST. -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 12:42 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Recover 2010 DAG CAS?HUB/Mailbox member to a single CAS/HUB/Mailbox server? Yes, that's what we've done. Do you know of any documentation on the recovery? As I said, the recovery goes fine until it finds out it was part of a DAG, then it stops. I've tried searching for "recover exchange 2010 dag as standalone" and "recover exchange 2010 dag on single server" and I'm drawing blanks. Suggestions for search string would be appreciated as well. -Paul -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

But you'll need a parallel environment. -----Original Message----- From: Maglinger, Paul [mailto:pmaglin...@scvl.com] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 2:58 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Recover 2010 DAG CAS?HUB/Mailbox member to a single CAS/HUB/Mailbox server? Is it possible to recover an Exchange 2010 DAG member to a single server? This is for disaster recovery testing. Getting nada on Google. Running setup /m:recoverserver does fine until it finds out that it's the member of a DAG. -Paul ---------------------- For more information about Lewis and Roca LLP, please go to www.lewisandroca.com.
