Okay, I have a major problem. We had a system crash a couple days ago. The system was running NT4 SP6, with Exchange 5.5 SP4. We do have a full tape backup of the system. We however, don’t have any special exchange backup utilities. Is it stillpossible to sucsessfully restore?
I haven’t had any luck so far. Have done a full restore and everything except for exchange works. For some reason Exchange just refuses to start and tells me it may be some kind of Windows errer.
At the sametime I have decided to upgrade to Windows 2000 server, which I have already done. It is running great, however Exchange still wont start. I have tried to upgrade to Exchange 2000 in hopes that it would recover everything but it won’t install sinceExchange 5.5 isnt working.
I guess my question is….. I have all the original Exchange data on tape backup… what do I need to do to get this going again? Is it possible to get all my mailboxes back with all their email still inside?
