Hi Al, I read everything.Let me explain: i made a backup of the MIS , and i want to restore to another machine.I configured the new machine like the old one(AD,Site ,OU everything),but after i make the restore and i try to mount the mailbox, it give an 'internal error' in which said to restart MIS.But doesn't resolve nothing. Can it be because of the DB signature?? In this case how can i resolve it. All the id error we encountered :1018,904,903,9518, 9519, 101. We solved (I think) those issues, but it still gives that error. Could it be because the "source" hardware was IDE based and the "destionation" hardware is RAID - Serial ATA based ? Thank you very much ! "Mulnick, Al" <Al.Mulnick@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: http://www.MSExchange.org/ Have you already read through the disaster recovery whitepaper for Exchange? I think it may help here.

First of all i made a restore of 'Exchsrvr' folder and also to MIS. The problem is : 1. i can't mount the old mailbox and public folder,but i can create a new mailbox or storage group. 2. i don't see my old mailbox in this new server. Thank you for any suggestion Dani --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
