Hi All,
I am currently planning our disaster recovery. We have an Exchange 2003 server. At our DR site we have an exact replica of our current network that is also connected to our current network with a domain controller at our DR site that replicates with our main domain controllers.
Now all the servers are in the same domain ( Live and DR ). We have a server at the DR site that already has exchange 2003 installed ( again in the same domain as our live Exchange Server ).
The servers are the same except the server name. If we were in a DR situation, could I restore our latest backup of Exchange to our DR server ( remembering that the DR server has a different name but is in the same domain as our live one ).
All the servers are running Windows 2000. There is only one forest and both our main and DR sites are in it so our live active directory is replicated across to our DR site.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
