RE: PF restore problem

Yep. One crucial step is missing, and I've never found it documented in the
DR Whitepapers..

In ExAdmin, you need to add a replica of the PF to the restore server. Once
you do that, you'll have client access to them again.

 Subject: PF restore problem
 
 
 A coadmin of mine created somewhat of a problem when I wasn't 
 available (some PF rehoming done incorrectly, without waiting 
 for replication), some PF contents are gone. Take restore 
 server, reinstall (NT4, sp, exch 55, sp4). Restore stores 
 (from backup exec 8.5, private and pub, no dir). Restart 
 services, run DS/IS consistency adjuster (with all 4 options 
 enabled, Filter set all inconsistencies). Run, ok. 
 Mailboxes appeared correctly, assign permission, connect with 
 client, ahah, the PF is there, click on it: PF unavailable ??
 
 PF did NOT appear, in ex administrator Public Folder 
 Resources contains only EventConfig, Events Root, Offline 
 Address Book and Schedule + Free Busy info. Note the PF 
 structure appeared fine, just the contents are missing - 
 trying to access the folder content from OL (or property in 
 ex administrator) I get a msg roughly like the contents are 
 unavailable - either the server computer servicing this pf is 
 down or the pf has not been replicated to this site.
 
 Basic check of the ebd file sizes: priv.edb 5GB, pub.edb 11GB 
 (about same size as the working server, ok). Wondering if any 
 content at all has been restored I tried a offline 
 defragmentation of the public edb - compacted down to about 
 3GB which should be correct - I moved lot of data to another 
 server lately.
 
 Any idea what I did wrong or what to do ? In the meantime I'm 
 restoring again from scratch in case I forgot something basic 
 but I just can't understand what :(

RE: PF restore problem

2002-01-10 Thread Herold Heiko

Found! Q164805,
b. After restoring the public folders there are instance on the site of
this folder but NOT on your server (for the moment). That is the cause
of the error message reported in the symptoms section and the reason why
you can't access the contents of all the restored folders. To solve this
problem you need to select the Public Information Store Object. On the
File menu, click Properties and in the Instance tab add all the
restored folders to your server. 

So after all what I did was correct, I just missed a (vita) point :)

Michael, Beat, Roger, thank you all very much.
 
Heiko

Exactly.
