HI vamsi,
When you say ADC does that mean Acvite directory Connector. If yes there
is not need of ADC when u dont have exchange 5.5. However, if you are
refering to system state backup of Active Directory..then below is the
answere
...First thing first...
Installing Exchange on a Domain controller is a BIG NO NO...
Reson..Exchange depends a lot on Active directory. Whenever the SA
services starts it looks for all the domain controller in the domain and
keeps a list of it and one server is elected as the configuration DC.
When one domain controller goes down its contact the other DC/GC..which is
called as Inteligent Failover.. This will not happen if you install
Exchange on a DC/GC.
Coming back to your question..In your case if the Domain controller fails
then you get the server back and ran the exchange setup with the
/disasterrecovery switch assuming that u have another DC and all the
information has been replicated to the other dC.
This will get the Exchange org and site information frm the AD and install
exchange realted files to the local system ..after this restore from
backup.
If you do not have a backup but u r able to retrive the database files
from the crashed system then u can try repairing it using eseutil /p.
Why take a chance, ackup ur data daily.
