Hello to all, Guys I have following senerio and can any one have come accros such situation and have recovery? If so please can you out line me the method. At one site someone had installed first 2000 server with AD, DNS, IIS, and Exchange 2000. Later on I have evaluated and added Veritas Backup with Exchange agent so they can backup every night. Then recently (lucky) I did suggested to add a 2nd DC to replicate there AD and I joint the AD and replicated. Now there first server which was running exchange and GC is dead and my question and undrestanding is that if I installed new with same name as dead server that will replicate my AD. Then I can run exchange setup /disasterrevocery and then restore Storage Group, and hopefully, this will bring back there server to original state. Is my understanding is correct???? Or is there any otherway to make this work????? Any help will be well taken. Shyam
