Hi
My DC went down Windows 2003 Server Enterprise. I can get all the data
off of it but it will not boot to the partition. I have had Microsoft
help and they say it is toast. I have installed and setup another DC.
It is named the same. I know I am not be able to get to my mail boxes
since I don't have the proper sids. Is there any way to rescue the
Exchange and add it to the new DC. It is named the same FQDN.

I really appreciate any help. This seems to be a great hurdle with the
security tags from the first DC locking all the access.

If you have a backup of the Exchange database, or you can grab it off the
drive one way or another, specifically the *.edb file, you can use Ontrack
Power Tools to extract the mailboxes into PSTs.

recovery software from Ontrack Data Recovery allows you to copy, search,
restore and extract data from unmounted .edb files. Exchange data recovery

Having difficulty reading or finding responses to your post?
Instead of the website you're using, I suggest to use OEx (Outlook Express
or any other newsreader), and configure a news account, pointing to
news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link to the Microsoft Public
Newsgroups. It is FREE and requires NO ISP's Usenet account. OEx allows you
to easily find, track threads, cross-post, sort by date, poster's name,
watched threads or subject.
It's easy:
