How to Restore a exchange 2000 server that is also a Global Catalogue

[nam1974]

Hi All,

Currently my Live Exchange 2000 server is also a DC that holds the following roles:

Infrastructure Owner
PDC Owner
Rid Owner
Schema Owner

The mailstore is backed up using veritas 8.6.

The DR server to be used for restoring exchange is in its own separate vlan and is not accessible by the live server (to prevent things messing up)

Any suggestion on what steps should be taken for a sucessful restore ?

not the only gc:
as a member server

only gc:
you'll need to seize roles

either way:
restore AD / domain
recover Exchange as per the FAQs
