Hi all!
My production environment consists of:
(1) AD box (Win2k SP3, DC, Global catalog, internal DNS)
(2) Backend Exchange servers ( E2k SP3, 2Node cluster Active/Passive mode, Veritas Backup Exec 8.x)
(1) OWA server
I am trying to build a quality assurance environment so that we can run updates or patches on it before installing them on production. Whole system's hardware is exactly same as Production.
----------------------------------------------------
What I did:
I replicated new AD box as additional domain controller and removed it from production and changed it's ip address accordingly. Installed exchange on cluster, redirected restoration on new virtual server but it hangs. Do I need to restore log files also along with mailboxes and public folders, Veritas forces me to change destinatin server name to production virtual name. Am I going in the right direction?
Thanks for reading this.
