Hi,
Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.
From your description, I understand that the hard disk is corrupt and youwant to restore the AD information and email mailboxes. If I am off base,
please don't hesitate to let me know.
I. Do you have a fine backup of the server before the hard disk down? If
yes, you can restore the AD information from it. the AD information must be
restored from the System Status.
For detail steps to restore System status, you can refer to the following
article:
Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49916
II. To recover a mailbox from backup, we need meet some factors. You can
refer to the following steps to configure:
To restore a mailbox from a backup to a recovery server:
1. Make a note of the following information that is on the production
Exchange Server 2003 computer:
a. Organization name
b. Administrative group name
c. Storage group name
2. Install Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 on the recovery
server, and then create a new Active Directory forest.
3. Run Exchange Server 2003 Setup, and then create a new organization that
uses the same name as your existing Exchange organization.
4. Do one of the following, as appropriate to your situation: o If the name
of your administrative group is First Administrative Group, go to step 6.
-or-
o To install Exchange Server 2003 to an administrative group other than the
First Administrative Group: a. Run Exchange Server 2003 Setup, and then
install Microsoft Exchange System Management Tools.

If the name of the storage group on the production server uses a name other

I am beginning w/ a SBS2003 SP1 system w/ a corrupted disk-can't get a
complete backup because of errors reading files. That's behind me, pulled
out another disk and have installed a fresh copy and almost done w/ SP1
loaded and updated w/ security patches.
question: how can I retrieve/carry over exchange data and possibly the AD
structure w/ users/computers/printers to the new system? when running
ntbackup, I have created a backup of the first storage group for exchange
individually. while trying to backup the system state (is this how the AD
exports?) errors abound-some reasons have to do with COM+ objects. Can
AD be exported in some other fashion? If I restore exchange on the newbe
server from the backup-does it need the users in place first? will there
problems recreating the users (different SID's) when exchange imports? INrestoring
order to restore exchange, is it as simple as running ntbackup and
the exchange backup?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
