It changes the following attributes of the affected users,
HomeMTA
HomeMDB
MsExchHomeServername
The GUI script is dynamic. It queries the AD and lists all available
Exchange servers in your Organization. And It looks for all available
Information stores in the failed server, and allows you to select any
surviving Exchange server as a recovery server. You must create an
additional Information Store in the recovery server with the same name
as the Information store being moved from the failed server. This is
required to restore the databases from failed server to the recovery
server, and the GUI will warn you if there are name mismatches in the
information store names. I will send you the GUI separately, try it out
and let me know your inputs.
Thanks.
Raj

That sounds great, Raj. I would hugely appreciate the GUI app you've
provided, as well as any information you can provide on what it does in
the background!
Thanks! That is great help!.

Hi C,
This is a very typical DCP/DRP scenario you are referring to. We
have come up with a similar situation, and a contingency plan to use our
UK site as contingency site for our US operations in such an event. I
had worked and developed a VB based GUI to automatically identify all
users in the failed Exchange server, and move them over to a temporary
recovery server by modifying the related AD attributes. The GUI works
excellent. I had tested the GUI in lab environment with great success.
If you are interested let me know, I can send you the GUI, please try it
out in a lab environment, and please do not distribute the GUI as it
contains my firms logo.
Once you move the users over to the new server using the GUI,
you still need to to be able resolve the old server name in the DNS, but
pointing to the IP of a DC or a living Exchange server. That way Outlook
will automatically reconfigure itself to point to the new server.
Regards,
Raj

I'm working through some DR scenarios in a lab.
Here is what I'd like to know how to do:
Assume serverA blows up. The server is unavailble.
I'd like to restore an Exchange database from serverA to
ServerB.
ServerB is an existing Exchange Server with existing clients, so
I can't rename the server. I must use the name serverB.
I know there are some related attributes on mailbox-enabled
users. MSExchHomeServerName
HomeMDB. Do I just need to edit those things?
And then part 2 of the transition, how does Outlook get update
or does it need to be done manually?
Thanks,
C
