Hi!
This has worked for me.
Exchange 5.5 on NT4
When you do the restor dont use the option to restart the services
After youre recovery is done start DS and the system attandent then start
exchange admin and chose properties ond the server object
on the advanced tab run DS/IS consistency check.
you may also need to run isinteg -patch

Pamela,
do you mean the paths for databases, logfiles, etc.?
We have the same drives as the original server and at least the paths to
the IS/DS databases and logfiles are the same.
In our case only IS service fails to start, directory service is fine.
Tell me if I got you wrong.
Thanks,
Ingo
