    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    DCPROMO did not work, (later learned that this is because Exchange is installed on the server, so it couldn't be demoted). I couldn't transfer FSMO roles by normal means, so I made the new server seize these roles. At that point the old server stopped functioning as a DC. Because Exchange and...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    And I realize that I left everything intact... If posting my server and domain names is a problem, I apologise. (Seems like the standard is to censor them out.) This server used to be named cobraserv, and now it is cobraserv1 so the new server could be named cobraserv. I have not created DNS...

    netdiag /l" gives me a popup error message: "netdiag.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point DnsIsAdapterDomainNameRegistrationEnabled could not be located in the dynamic link library DNSAPI.DLL" "dcdiag /f:dcdiag.log" hangs for a moment and... yay, logfile! "DC Diagnosis...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Okay, small update: I looked into PowerControls, and I downloaded and tried out their trial. Amazing, it looks like it'll completely fix my problem. I looked at the price tag, and, ouch... $950. I suppose it's a small price to pay to fix the trouble I've created, but it's a bite for me to...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Hey Mark, as noted on my 27 Nov post, that's pretty much exactly what I did. Guess this means I'm not doing it wrong, and that the problem is that this method won't work for me. Darn. The old server is still running, but Active Directory is broken. I can't get it to work as a DC, which also...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Ultimately I'm trying to take the stored email from the old server, (which no longer functions), and make them accessable from the new server without losing the email we've accumulated since I got the new server running. Marcdmac gave me this bit of insight: "Didi you try copying the EDB and...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Been a couple days since my last post... Anyone have any further direction/tips/suggestions/guides for me to get the email restored?

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    As I (mis?)understood it, I'm supposed to use EXMerge to export all current email, dump in the old stored email files (STM and EDB files), and then once that is working (using isinteg?), use ExMerge once again to import the emails that were previously exported. Is this not what I need to do...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Hello again. Sorry for disppearing in the middle of this issue. Had some other fires to put out... I've read through the stuff on UltraBac's website, and even signed up for a trial copy of their software to attempt to folow their instructions. No luck as yet. I've read the FAQ, and it gives...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Now I'm having trouble with ISINTEG... I've moved the existing EDB and STM files from the MBDATA folder to a backup folder, and copied the ones from the old server. I shut down all Exchange services to be safe. Found that I had to run Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to run the...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    I have gone through the steps listed in the link 58Sniper posted, and everything looked to be in order. I also noticed, this time, that Administrator has already had full permissions for the Mailbox store in my First Storage Group. This is in addition to a group I created and gave these...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    I'm trying to use ExMerge on the new server. I've got it extracted to the "C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin" folder. I run exmerge.exe. I click through all the options, tell it to use the two step method so I'm just creating files to import later, and it tells me none of the mailboxes were...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    If I copy the EDB and STM files and run ISINTEG will that cause any loss of new emails on the new server, or is that safe to just import the old into the new? (Nope, didn't know to do that... Thanks!) Unfortunately, I don't have the option of running Exchange on a seperate computer from the...

    Exchange not working without AD, Trying to restore stored emails...

    Okay, I've got myself into a bit of a bind... I've posted a couple threads asking about how to decommission an existing server acting as PDC with Exchange Server, and replace it with a new server, (new hardware, fresh install of Win2k3R2). I eventually became unable to use DCPROMO to do...

    Moving Exchange toa New Server.

    I've set up a new server on my company domain, using Win2003R2. I have managed to make it the PDC, which makes the old server (which I am replacing) now a BDC. More info on that is here: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1298953&page=1 Now, I have a PDC with Exchange2003SP2...

    Any Tips for Promoting a BDC to PDC?

    I actually had a setup where an even lower end machine was BDC to the old server, and it was used mostly for storage and taks like handling scans from our copier/scanner. Ultimately, I'd like to replace ths lowest server with a slightly upgraded old server, and that would be the...

    Any Tips for Promoting a BDC to PDC?

    The original server and the new server are both Win2003R2, so yes, same OS. I more or less just installed 2k3R2 on the new server, and went through the "Manage Your Server" wizard to set it up as a Domain Controller, and it became the BDC automatically. In Server Manager, (srvmgr.exe), it...

    Any Tips for Promoting a BDC to PDC?

    Hello, I've got an existing server that's been upgraded from Windows 98 (gasp!) to Win2000 and more recently to Win2003R2. It is a Pentium4 with 256MB RAM and mirrored 40GB hard drives. My company has purchased a new server with adual core Opteron CPU, 1GB RAM, and mirrored 320GB hard drives...

    Exchange Server Not Receiving Mail

    I have been toying with the problem, and I set up my MX records to try the new server (MX 5), and then try the old server, (MX 10). Everything has been going to the old server tho, so I'd say it tried the new server and failed. I think I've figured out my problem, tho... Too much security. I...

    Exchange Server Not Receiving Mail

    Hello, I am trying to move my company from an email server we've been using for a few years to an inhouse server. The only issue we're having is getting the inhouse server to accept mail from the internet. So far, I have verified that port 25 is not blocked, and is being forwarded from our...
