Hi guys. I want to restore an Exchange server's backup I made directly to disk using NTbackup.
I didn't do a system state backup, so I don't have the AD users in the fresh Windows 2003 installation.
Excuse my ignorance, but if I restore Exchange's backup, will it work? I mean, will I recover the users with their associated exchange objects without doing a system restore?
What I want to do is to test the integrity of the backup. I do not want to make it part of my production network and don't want to create any conflicts with the running servers, so I installed Win 2003 & Exchange on a virtual machine.
I encountered a problem.
When telling NTbackup the backup's destination, it didn't recognize the Exchange services. It said "The specified computer is not a Microsoft Exchange server or its Microsoft Exchange services are not started exchange 2003".
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
