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

http://www.MSExchange.org/ 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
