How did you associate mailboxes with the newly created accounts with different SID's??? Isn't that a requisit for restore the mailboxes from a previous backup? Or did you use exmerge and pst files???

Maybe I didn't explain myself very well, so let me put it in other words. How can I reinstall a Exch2K server that is also the only Domain Controller of the domain? Remember that the reason for the reinstallation is a corrupted Active Directory that does not allow to add additional domain controllers.
