Hello.

I have a question. Last night my SBS2003 server crashed. It contained
ISA, SQL, CRM, and Exchange. I have rebuild the server and would now
like to restore the server, but without CRM en SQL for the time being.
I want to run this on a test server first.

Now this raises two issues.

1. The server crashed and come up with the "active directory is
rebuilding indices" The first time I restored from backup this message
come back. Will It now after I completly rebuild the server?

2. Is it wise to restore all of the system state components as I do
not want SQL en CRM back on this system? Probably the CRM and SQL
registry information will be restored to and make this system unstable
again?

Oh and. (Sorry, just thought of it......:)

3.Will switching the server of at night and on in the morning make the
system unstable or greatly increase the risk of potential system
crashes?

Thanks in advance. All comments will be greatly appreciated.

Rgrds,

Hans
