Hi list, I am attempting to setup an Exchange 2000 recovery server and have run into a snag. I can browse through the network to find the Exchange recovery server yet when I choose to restore to it I get a message stating that either the server is not an Exchange server or the services are not turned on - neither of which are true. I have followed the directions from the MS PDF entitled "Mailbox recovery for MS Exchange server" in setting up the new server. I can even query the ports via telnet successfully. I have not updated any Exchange service packs but I do have SP4. AD, DNS (actually DDNS) and such are also running on the recovery machine. Thanks for any ideas, Tim
