5. 5 Limitations of Monitoring System and State Information Clusters can’t be monitored. Monitor the connector state particularly if you are monitoring a server in another routing group. A running server doesn’t mean a healthy database. If the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant and Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine aren’t running, the state information may not be accurate. Gateway connectors are always marked as being in an UP state. Don’t use older versions of Exchange monitors on Exchange 2000 Server

20. 20 Backup Strategies for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

21. 21 Backup Considerations Back up system state information. Consider installing Exchange 2000 Server on a domain controller. Verify database backups.

22. 22 Disaster Recovery Considerations Build and maintain a recovery server. Perform test recoveries. Design a recovery plan. Design a recovery kit.

23. 23 Restoring to the Same Server Configuring a hard recovery Performing a manual hard recovery Recovering multiple databases in the same storage group

24. 24 Complete Disaster Recovery Reinstall the operating system. Reinstall the system state information. Run Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Setup in /DisasterRecovery mode. Restore all database files. Reboot the server and test your recovery.

25. 25 Replacing the Server’s Hardware Forklifting mailboxes Moving mailboxes and public folders

26. 26 Restoring to a Different Server (Not Recommended) Each mailbox-enabled user has a unique msExchMailboxGuid. Each mailbox-enabled user can be associated with only one mailbox. Only one copy of an Exchange database can exist in the forest. Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) profiles may need to be manually updated.

27. 27 High-Speed Recovery with Delayed Restore Prepare the recovery server. Reconnect the mailboxes. Retrieve and play back data.
