Had to restore from tape
Hi Had one of my 7 exchange servers (nt4, ex5.5, all in the same site) crash recently and it took the logs with it. So staged a new server and dumped the online backup to it and it came up fine. However...now i am getting some reports of some odd behavior. One of those being that users in another domain are reporting that they are having to logon to the outlook client where they had not before. Other things include a user on that server getting notices that she had gone over the mailbox size limit when the mailbox was very small and no where near the limit. Another incident is a remote user trying to delete folders from OWA. Wouldn't let him. There is one other thing and that is there are several reports of this kind: Unable to update public free/busy data. The contents of the folder are currently unavailable I have check this and the server that crashed was a replication partner with the 1st server. I have since removed that server from the list and replaced it with another. Not sure yet if that has solved that issue. So i am considering running IS/DS Consistency adjuster but am paranoid about doing so. Another question would be would it have been a good idea after the online restore to run it then or something else. Any suggestions would be helpful Thanks Warren _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchangetext_mode=lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help...exchange down
I have a 5.5 server whos drive c is toast. Tried getting it to boot, tried a repair but it looks like the controller is the culprit. The server is running NT 4.0 with sp 6a. I have tried reviving the server but no luck. I have a full backup of exchange and I need to get this restored onto a new server. The problem is that when I try to install exchange to the new server (which now has the name and IP of the old server) the install tells me that the server already exists in the site (attempted joining the existing site) OF COURSE! Anyway are there any suggestions on getting the old server exchange backup restored to the new server? Thanks Loads!

RE: Help...exchange down
I can get the new server joined to the domain with the old servers name and IP. -Original Message- From: Bailey, Matthew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 5:36 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject:RE: Help...exchange down Have tried deleting the computer account then trying joining the domain? - Matt -Original Message- From: Bennett, Warren Mr DAC 5 SIG CMD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 8:34 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Help...exchange down I have a 5.5 server whos drive c is toast.
