When you created the new Exchange organization, did you name it the same thing as the old one? From: Lynden A. Philadelphia [mailto:lphiladelp...@philadelphiagroup.com] Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2013 2:04 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Crashed DC I have a client that has a small shop. His DC crashed. No backup of the DC or Exchange. I can still access the Exchange Server but there is no way to get back the DC. I have created a new DC and joined the old Exchange Server to the Domain. I have also ran setup /Prepare AD, Domain, Schema and legacy permissions on the DC. What do I do next to get this into production again? Should I create a new Exchange 2010 box and copy the edb and transaction logs to the new server? Help!
