Re: Restoring Exchange2000 with ntbackup headaches

You must install the system state first to configure security. Then
restore the files. Otherwise the files will be there with the wrong
security settings.

Ok, I think I've got it now - the process has been modified to this:

1. Install Windows 2000 Server on new server (identical hardware)
2. Restore entire system and system state
3. Perform Primary Restore (Exchange box is only DC in domain)
4. Check/restore DHCP server
5. Delete contents of target's MDBDATA directory
6. Restore Information Store
7. Restore MTADATA directory from backup (although it should have been
restored in step 2, but somehow wasn't)
8. Pray

Is that the correct procedure?
