I do an online backup of the Information Store and Directory separately. I am practicing disaster recovery and since I recovered the Information Store to an offline server I cannot get the Information Store Service to start. I have the site name thesame and the computer name the same. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks, Dan

Please provide more information.. What are you using to back up the server (software)? How are you restoring the server? What error are you receiving when you try to start the store?

Did you apply any information store hotfixes to you old server? (post service pack 3 - i assume that u r using Ex 5.5?) - did you run
"isinteg -patch"?

After running ISinteg -patch you need to then bring you offine servers information store (store.exe) to the same version as the old store.

Recovery Exchange servers have to exact replica's or funny stuff happens. ;-)
