Restore from backup?  Isn't that a bit risky?  Wouldn't you prefer to have a
less risky way of doing this?  Like installing the new hardware, burning it
in, and then moving the mailboxes, folders, etc to the new machine?  Outlook
even makes provisions for this by updating the profile as long as the old
server and new server are online.

Just a thought.

You should instal exchange in recovery mode Run>setup.exe /disasterrecovery,
so you get back your setings and mailboxes. Restore from backup should do
the job. Enyway, as I didn't work with E2k3 yet, you shoud check it more in
MS KB and try to find solution on
