Exchange Server Restore Methods

If the entire Exchange server fails and cannot be booted due to a hardware failure or configuration corruption, you can either restore or reinstall the server to correct the problem. The following table describes three methods you can use to recover from a failed server.
If possible, copy the Exchange data from the failed server. As the last step in the process, recopy the data to the restored or rebuilt server instead of restoring the data from backup. This gives you the latest version of the Exchange database.If restoring the Exchange server does not work (if the restored server is still unstable), try reinstalling the server. By reinstalling, you get clean installs of the operating system and Exchange.If the Exchange server is the only domain controller on your network, you will need to restore Active Directory before restoring or reinstalling Exchange. If the Exchange server is one of other domain controllers, make the server a domain controller prior to installing Exchange. Wait for Active Directory replication to replicate domain information to the restored server.If you install Exchange without the /disasterrecovery switch, information in Active Directory for that server will be deleted. Using the /disasterrecovery switch retrieves the configuration information for that server object and reapplies it to that Exchange server.
