Hello
been asked to developDR(DRas in an entire site being wiped out)
plans for our organisationsExchangeenvironment. We have two-node
exchangeclusters at siteA and at siteB. We have a separateDRsite
with a newly installed DC, and a standbyExchangeServer.
I originally had the idea of the following
1. in the event of a disaster, on theDRDC, seize all the FSMO roles
2. setup blank databases on theDRexchangeserver, use some script to
set the homemdb, homemta, msexchhomeserver attributes to point at the
DRserver
3. users then (after rejigging their outlook profile) then open
outlook with a blank database
4. restore the databases into a recovery storage group on theDR
server, then merge the data into the new blank databases
**********
tried this in our lab environment, discovered that when tryin to merge
data out of the RSG, it tries to restore it to the original server,
and not to the new server, probably because at the time the databases
were backed up, thats where the mailboxes were
so, question is, whats the best way ofDR'ngExchange, using a standby
recovery server?
have read through theDROps Guide from Microsoft, understand the
concepts, and am comfortable with restoring databses etc, but im still
unsure on how to plan theExchangeDRat a higher level
You could always exmerge the mailboxes from the RSG and import them
into the blank databases.- Hide quoted text -

i suppose that would be possible
would it also be possible to rename the recovery server to whatever
the cluster exchange virtual server name was, and then restore
exchange wiht the /disasterrecovery switch? then restore the databases?
