Hello Albert,
Thank you for posting in the SBS newsgroup.
Also, many thanks for TimeTraveller's great input.
According to your description, I understand that you have some questions
about restore SBS Server from backup. If I have misunderstood your concern,
please don't hesitate to let me know.
As you mentioned, if you need restore to a new SBS Server from backup,
please refer to the following steps:
1. Install Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium and apply any
service pack for the Windows Server 2003 operating system that existed on
your server when you ran the last backup. Configure all SBS components
based on original Server configuration.
2. Create all new user accounts (duplicate the original all accounts) by
using Add Users Wizard.
3. To restore Exchange Server Database
a. Open Exchange System Manager. Navigate to ''Servers''\<Server
Name>\''First Storage Group''\''Mailbox Store''. Right-click it and choose
Dismount Store, then re-name the original exchange database, for example,
re-name priv1.edb to priv1old.edb, priv1.stm to priv1old.stm.
b. Open Services Console, stop ''Microsoft Exchange Information Store''
service. Open ''Exchange System Manager'', navigate to ''Servers''\<Server
Name>\''First Storage Group''. Right-click it and choose ''Properties''.
Select the database folder. (The original database files should be copied
to this folder).
c. Open Exchange System Manager. Navigate to ''Servers''\<Server
Name>\''First Storage Group''\''Mailbox Store''. Right-click it and choose
''Properteis''. Click ''Database'' tab and check ''This database can be
overwritten by a restore'' option. Also check this option for ''Public
folder store''.
d. Open Services console, start ''Microsoft Exchange Information Store''
service. In Exchange System Manager console, right-click ''Mailbox store''
and choose ''Mount Store''. Also mount the public folder store.
e. In Exchange System Manager console, expand ''Mailbox Store''.
Right-click ''Mailboxes'' folder and choose ''Run Cleanup Agent''. After
doing this, you will see the mailboxes with red crosses in the right panel.
Right-click each mailbox and choose ''Reconnect''. Connect the mailboxes to
the current user accounts.
4. Restore the contents in Users shared folders.
5. Follow the KB 827701 to restore the SharePoint site.
827701 How to perform a disaster recovery operation of SharePoint Services
Companyweb and SharePoint Services Databases
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=827701
The above steps will help you reinstall the SBS 2003 server. To preserve
client user profiles and settings that was on the original domain to the
new SBS 2003 installation, a manual way is documented in the KB article:
314045 HOW TO: Restore a User Profile in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314045
Another way is to create a local profile, copy the original domain profile
to the local profile, and then let the "Setup Computer" wizard do the task
"map local profile to new domain profile" for you.
As long as you create your computer accounts using the server manager''s
"to do list" you will be prompted to migrate profile information. When you
join the workstations to the domain by using the web site (ie
http://servername/connectcomputer) part of the process of joining the
domain will allow you to migrate user settings. However, to use this
method, you need to make sure that the profile you want to migrate from is
a local user profile (Not a previous domain profile):
1. Before joining the client to SBS 2K3 domain, create a local profile, and
then copy the old domain profile to a local profile.
2. Add the SBS Server into the network
3. Use the Setup Computer Wizard in SBS 2003 to join the (now) XP Pro
machines to the SBS domain: Server Management, Standard Management, Client
Computers, Set Up Client Computers.
4. On the client, access http//<Server name>/connectcomputer to bring up
the Setup Computer Wizard, it will then allow you to map domain user
accounts to local profiles on the machine thus preserving your profiles:
"Assign Users to this Computes and Migrate their Profiles".
5. You will Add a domain account to "Users assigned to this computer!/, and
then choose the existing local user profile in the "Current User Settings".
By Default, the value for "Current User Settings" is "None".
For the detailed steps, please refer to the following documents:

I hope this helps. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to let me know. I am always happy to be of further assistance.
