Hi Mike,
 
I read "Using TDP for Microsoft Exchange server" redbook, and in 7.3.2 Disaster 
recovery for Exchange 2000 mentions :
 
"Reinstall Exchange using setup /DisasterRecovery. Assure that all

originally installed components are selected with the Disaster Recovery

option. Exchange must be installed to the same drive as originally."

When you perform BMR for Exchange server, did you reinstall Microsoft Exchange ?

However, in the  "Disaster Recovery Strategies with Tivoli Storage Management" 
redbook , Chapter 9: Overview of bare metal recovery techniques  wrote " The 
next several chapters will document different techniques used to perform bare 
metal recoveries (recovery of a machine’s entire set of data, including 
operating system, applications and data files) on a variety of platforms.

Could you explain more detail about it, pls ?

Thank you in advance,

Nghiat

        Hello,
        
        We did some testing the last days, because we were afraid that our 
current
        DR-procedure didn't work anymore on W2K-servers were IIS is running.
        
        Restore with TSM 5.2.2.0 client, without first restoring Catroot:
        OK, but WFP restores a lot of old protected files
        
        Restore with TSM 5.2.2.0 client, first restoring Catroot:
        OK, but WFP restores only inseng.dll and mshtml.dll (just 2 old files)
        
        Restore with TSM 5.3.0.15 client, without first restoring Catroot:
        OK, but WFP restores still 66 old protected files
        
        Restore with TSM 5.3.0.15 client, first restoring Catroot:
        OK, but WFP restore only inseng.dll
        
        Conclusion: we are now investigating what the impact is of the restored
        dll's on the operating system.
        
        We are going to add the restore of the Catroot in our DR-procedure, but
        without the Catroot it is still working.
        
        It's only a problem with the 5.2 client on W2K-systems with IIS and
        Exchange. Systems with only IIS and 5.2 clients we have no problems.
        
        Regards,
        
        Mike
