Troubleshooting Lab


In this lab, you configure Server02 so that it can act as a recovery server for your Tailspin Toys Exchange Server 2003 organization. Server02 will be promoted to the first domain controller in the contoso.com forest. You must match all the following names used by your recovery server to those used by your original Exchange server (Server01):

  • Organization name

  • Administrative group name

  • Storage group name

  • Logical database name

Before proceeding with this lab, you must meet the system requirements outlined in the "Before You Begin" section at the beginning of this chapter.

Exercise 1: Reconfigure Server02 as a Recovery Server

To reconfigure Server02 as a recovery server, perform the following steps:

  1. On Server02, access the Control Panel and open Add Or Remove Programs.

  2. Select Microsoft Exchange, and then click Change/Remove.

  3. On the Microsoft Exchange Installation Welcome page, click Next.

  4. On the Component Selection page, click the left column of the Component box beside Microsoft Exchange, select Remove, and then click Next.

  5. On the Installation Summary page, click Next.

  6. Exchange Server 2003 uninstalls.

    Caution

    Do not remove Server02 from the Tailspin Toys domain before you have uninstalled Exchange. If you do this, the computer can take an excessively long time to boot and to complete a logon.

  7. Click Finish on the Completing The Microsoft Exchange Wizard page.

  8. Close Add Or Remove Programs.

  9. From the Start menu, click My Computer, and then click Properties.

  10. On the Computer Name tab, click Change.

  11. Select Workgroup and type WORKGROUP in the Workgroup Name box.

  12. Click OK.

  13. Specify the administrator account and password that you used when you configured this server, and then click OK.

  14. Click OK when welcomed to the workgroup. Click OK again and restart the computer.

  15. Log on using the same administrator account and password that you specified in step 13, and promote the server to a domain controller in the contoso.com domain.

    Tip

    Detailed instructions for promoting a server to a domain controller in a new forest are not given. If you have any problems with this procedure, then refer to the Windows Server 2003 help files.

  16. Log on to Server01 using the same credentials and install Exchange Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. Remember that this is a new forest and you need to run ForestPrep and DomainPrep. The organization name should be the same as the Exchange Server 2003 organization on Server01 (TailSpinToys).

  17. Use the Active Directory Domains And Trusts console to create a non-transitive two-way trust between the contoso.com and tailspintoys.com domains. This is to let you access the D:\Mybackup folder on Server01 from Server02.

  18. On Server01, share D:\Mybackup. Ensure that contoso.com domain administrators have read permission on the folder.

  19. On Server02, configure Exchange System Manager to display Administrative Groups and Routing Groups. Create a storage group and call it My Storage Group.

  20. Delete Server02 from the TailSpinToys Active Directory. Delete the MX record for Server02 in the tailspintoys.com DNS zone. Create an MX record for Server02 in the contoso.com DNS zone.

  21. Enable zone transfers in the tailspintoys.com and contoso.com DNS zones.

  22. On Server02, create a secondary DNS zone for the tailspintoys.com Active Directory Integrated zone on Server01.

  23. On Server01, create a secondary DNS zone for the tailspintoys.com Active Directory Integrated zone on Server02.

  24. Close all open consoles. Reboot Server02.
