Hi everybody,
This is my first time in the list, so I hope you could give me more ideas.
Have the following environment:
A Win2k DC which also is Exchange2K server, this is the lonely server in the
organization, I call it THE server.
This DC has problems with some FSMO roles with impact on the end users: things
like we can not add more machines to the domain. However, the AD tools run ok,
even I can add users or groups to the domain, only if I run it locally on the
server, of course.
I have received the server with this problems from a previous administration.
The thing is: I want to reinstall the server.
BUT I have this problems:
- I need to preserve the AD accounts in order to associate them with their
mailboxes once I have restored the exchange services.
- I think that a System State backup of the server will preserve the accounts,
BUT maybe also preserve the misconfigurations I described.
Has anybody experienced with a similar situation??
Any suggestions will be well received.
10xs!!!
Daniel
