Can anyone confirm their use of the recover switch when re-installing
exchange after say a server death for example, and you don't wish to
set up everything all over again and AD has already had the required
schema updates etc you just want to pull the configuration back out of
AD and restore a cop
James,
I believe it only refers to what you say i.e. drive letters and paths must be
the same. The size of the disks themselves, I would have though, are irrelevant.
I also wouldn't think it would be a problem if you have extra drives
configured, so long as Exchange can find the disks it expect
Correct. In fact IIRC you can change the absolute paths in AD, using ADSIEDIT
and the restored databases will still mount.

I had thought ADSIEDIT could probably resolve any issues regarding
different drive letters etc.
We are looking to use the recover switch after formatting our server
to rearrange the partitions. It initially has two partitions; the
system and EDB partition. The EDB partition is massive and the syst
I wouldn't hesitate to do it, but if you've never done it before - you should
do it in the lab first.
I recommend you use a utility such as Partition Manager.

Yes well we do own a copy of EASEUS Partition Master Server Edition so
hopefully I can just resize all our volumes and carry on as normal but
obviously I need to prepare for the worst!

Server has two physical drives, OS on C: and Exchange on D:. D: is
reporting bad sectors so can't image it. If I recall correctly, can't I get
a backup of the stores then uninstall and reinstall Exchange on healthy
drives and then restore the Information store?
Sure, as long as it is a full/complete backup.

If the Exchange store is unaffected by the bad sectors, you could
temporarily attach a sufficiently large (external?) drive, move the store to
the temporary drive, replace bad drives with healthy drives, and then move
the store to the healthy drives. Not nearly as much trouble as backup /
uninstal
