Sunil,
This is what I did when I was in a similar situation. I rebuild the crashed
server with the exact same configurations, partitions, patches, software. All
installation paths should be same. Then restore your system state. Now your AD
is up. Reboot the server and make sure it's functioning. Now after this point,
what I did was remove the Exchange schemas from AD. Your AD thinks that it
includes an Exchange org. I removed this by doing a command ( I have it in a
doc and will email it to you when i find it.) What this command does is removes
the Exchange org from AD all the schemas etc. Now when you reboot, your Ad is
standalone with no Exchange references. Now at this point, I reinstalled
exchange. You don't do a disaster recovery switch, since AD thinks you're
building a brand new exchange org. When you install Exchange make sure you
choose the same org name, installation path should be same etc. When complete
patch the exchange server. Make all the settings as original as possible. Now
your exchange is built with blank databases. Your database locations should be
in the exact path as before, this also applies to the logs. Now restore the
databases from backup. This is what I did and worked for me.

I'm almost certain I've seen this before when I was doing disaster
recovery on similar to yours one server no systemstate. After everything
was done it hung at that stage. I'm almost certain that the issue was
because the server was not built with the exact configuration settings
and patch level.

Is this your only Exchange server? If so, another option is to rebuild
the server without the disaster recovery switch.

You will need to look in the Exchange Setup Progress log file and see
exactly what it is failing on.
