RE: DR testing of e2k cluster
Your RUS is probably configured to use your first server which doesn't exists so it doesn't run. Make sure it's pointing to your new server. -Original Message- From: Nick Combellack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 11:54 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DR testing of e2k cluster Come on guys has anyone got any ideas with this I know you guys are good as I follow the list. |-Original Message- |From: Nick Combellack |Sent: 29 July 2002 16:36 |To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues |Subject: DR testing of e2k cluster | |I am running through DR scenarios on the test network. | |I rebuilt the exchange cluster after an interupted DR test.

RE: DR testing of e2k cluster
Well, just thoughts... Did the users have mailboxes on the previous server name? There are specific steps involving removing the first server from the network and AD, which sounds like you did not do. Can I assume that proper time has been allotted for AD replication and RUS updates for these new mailenabled users? Are there lots of events in the application event log of this server and the GC server(s)? (It might be more hassle than it is worth to try to troubleshoot resulting issues with the actions you've taken. I'd be inclined to flatten the test network and start over really.) -Original Message- From: Nick Combellack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 8:54 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DR testing of e2k cluster Come on guys has anyone got any ideas with this I know you guys are good as I follow the list. |-Original Message- |From: Nick Combellack |Sent: 29 July 2002 16:36 |To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues |Subject: DR testing of e2k cluster | |I am running through DR scenarios on the test network. | |I rebuilt the exchange cluster after an interupted DR test.

RE: DR testing of e2k cluster
Do those new mailboxes when you mail enable them get stamped by RUS with the correct email address? Can you seem them in the global address list? Can you send a mail to them? After doing this do they appear on the store. [Are you checking this through ESM under the Mailbox store?] Are there any warnings or errors in your application event logs ?
