			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exchange 2007 has the  feature of reinstalling a server the exact way it was when it was operational.  I ran into an issue in my development environment where I had to reinstall the  server from scratch because it would not uninstall exchange 2007 or upgrade to  Service Pack 2. Because this was a dev server I simply reinstalled the server  from scratch. Installed Windows updates, I should also mention the server has to  be the exact name it had before and was rejoined to the domain.</p>
<p>The first step I  performed was putting in the Exchange 2007 CD and open up a command prompt</p>
<p>Change directory to  CD drive, in my case the CDROM is D drive.</p>
<p>Type in the following  command</p>
<p>setup  /mode:recoverserver</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image001.jpg" alt="exchange" width="661" height="555" /></p>
<p>In my case, I was  missing patches that were needed by exchange installation. I visited Microsoft  website plugged in all Error ID&#8217;s and download the needed software, but as you  can see from the output it knows the exact way this server setup before.<br />
  After installing  needed patches, I begain to run the command setup /mode:recoverserver again. As  you can see from the output screen still no luck.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image002.jpg" width="660" height="366" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I searched for a bit  on Google and had no luck with fixing this issue, so I decided to go to Plan B,  I would force remove the server from active directory and reinstall exchange.</p>
<p><br clear="all" /></p>
<p>I Lunched ASEDIT, and  added Configuration</p>
<p>I Click on Plus sign  next to Configuration, CN=Services, CN=Microsoft Exchange, CN=DomainName,  CN=Exchange Administraive Groups, CN=Servers</p>
<p>Here I delete the  server having issues.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image003.jpg" alt="exchange" width="648" height="477" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I got a prompt and  clicked on Yes to continue</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image004.jpg" alt="exchange" width="290" height="119" /></p>
<p><br clear="all" /></p>
<p>I got a warning  stating you will be deleting the container and everything in it. I clicked on  yes to continue.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image005.jpg" alt="exchange" width="351" height="119" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I notice exchange  wrote that my server was in recover mode because when I ran the installation  again it told me I had to do a server recovery. I went to control panel and  clicked on add remove programs and notice exchange installation was presient. I  click on remove and uninstalled it. After this I check registry on the server  and notice the registry and was still there, so I decided to remove it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I Launched Regedit</p>
<p>Navigate to<br />
  +HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE<br />
  +SOFTWARE<br />
  +MICROSOFT</p>
<p>Here I deleted the +EXCHANGE  folder</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image006.jpg" alt="exchange" width="623" height="366" /></p>
<p>After this I had to  reboot my server because exchange was complaining that it has to reboot before  starting any new installation.</p>
<p>Now I ran into a  weird installation issue, my Default Offline Address Book was corrupted. Got  this error during installation</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image007.jpg" alt="exchange" width="650" height="373" /></p>
<p>I proceeded to delete  it and recreate it with the following power shell commands.</p>
<p>[PS]  C:\&gt;Remove-OfflineAddressBook &quot;Default offline address book&quot;</p>
<p>Confirm<br />
  Are you sure you want  to perform this action?<br />
  Removing Offline  Address Book &quot;Default offline address book&quot;.<br />
  [Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No   [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help<br />
  (default is  &quot;Y&quot;):y</p>
<p>Confirm<br />
  The offline address  book that you selected for removal is the default offline<br />
  address book. If you  continue, Outlook users may not be able to access their<br />
  offline address  books.  Are you sure you want to delete  Default offline address<br />
  book?<br />
  [Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No   [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help<br />
  (default is  &quot;Y&quot;):y</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>[PS]  C:\&gt;New-OfflineAddressBook &quot;default offline address list&quot;  -AddressLists &quot;default global address list&quot; -Server exmbx01<br />
    <img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/exchange2007_reover_server/image008.jpg" alt="exchange" width="668" height="331" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After this, I was  finally able to install exchange successfully. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Managing  your Active Sync Device from Outlook Web Access in Exchange 2007 SP1 </strong><br />
  In Exchange 2007, Outlook Web Access  (OWA) offers a portal for users to manage their Exchange Active Sync (EAS)  devices. <br />
  <strong>How to access that  information?</strong> </p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li>Log on to OWA</li>
<li>Click &quot;Options&quot; </li>
<li>Click &quot;Mobile Device&quot;</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is what the page looks like: <br />
    <img width="618" height="429" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/activesync_exchange2007/clip_image001.jpg" /> <br />
    <strong>Note</strong>: If ActiveSync is not enabled for the Exchange user,  &quot;Mobile Device&quot; tab won&#8217;t be shown. You can run the PowerShell  command to check the status. Here is the result from a test server for example: <br />
    <em>[PS] D:\Documents and Settings\  Administrator &gt;Get-CASMailbox -Identity:test |fl ActiveSyncEnabled</em> <br />
    <em>ActiveSyncEnabled : True</em> <br />
    <strong>What can the page do for  you?</strong> <br />
    <strong>Note</strong>: The following includes the Exchange 2007 and Service Pack  1 (SP1) features: <br />
    <strong><em>1) Device status</em></strong> <br />
  As shown in the snapshot, the page  will list all the Active Sync devices that the Exchange user has ever synced.  Each device will be identified with its Type, Last-Sync-Time, and Status, which  contains detailed device information, such as First-Sync-Time, User-Agent, etc. <br />
  <strong>Note</strong>: Exchange has provided the protocol support to let the  device send up the device-related data (e.g. Friendly Name, OS, Phone number,  etc) to the server. But not all devices implement that part of protocol.  Therefore, it&#8217;s possible that you won&#8217;t see all the data shown in the  screenshot. <br />
  On the server side, the Exchange  administrator can use the following PowerShell command to get the same data. <br />
  <em>[PS] D:\Documents and  Settings\Administrator&gt;Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -mailbox:test</em> <br />
  <em>FirstSyncTime : 5/11/2007 10:07:47  PM<br />
    LastPolicyUpdateTime :<br />
    LastSyncAttemptTime : 5/11/2007 10:07:56 PM<br />
    LastSuccessSync : 5/11/2007 10:07:56 PM<br />
    DeviceType : PocketPC<br />
    DeviceID : v120Device<br />
    DeviceUserAgent : NSync<br />
    DeviceWipeSentTime :<br />
    DeviceWipeRequestTime :<br />
    DeviceWipeAckTime :<br />
    LastPingHeartbeat :<br />
    RecoveryPassword : ********<br />
    DeviceModel :<br />
    DeviceIMEI :<br />
    DeviceFriendlyName :<br />
    DeviceOS :<br />
    DeviceOSLanguage :<br />
    DevicePhoneNumber :<br />
    Identity : test@contoso.com\AirSync-PocketPC-v120Device</em> <br />
  <strong><em>2) Remote Wipe</em></strong> <br />
  <img width="197" height="24" src="file:///C|/Users/frank/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image002.jpg" alt="http://msexchangeteam.com/photos/postpictures2/images/439561/original.aspx" /> <br />
  This is a very handy feature that  was only available to Exchange administrators in Exchange 2003. Now an EAS user  can wipe his/her device, primarily in case of device loss. Once the link is  clicked and confirmed, the wipe command will be issued to the server and the  link will change to &quot;Cancel Wipe Request&quot;. (SP1 feature) <br />
  <img width="172" height="23" src="file:///C|/Users/frank/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image003.jpg" alt="http://msexchangeteam.com/photos/postpictures2/images/439562/original.aspx" /> <br />
  As you can infer, there is still a  chance for the EAS user to cancel a wipe request if he/she initiated it by  accident or subsequently found the device. But the courtesy time is short &#8211;  once the device initiates a sync to the server and picks up the wipe command,  it will be too late to undo the request. <br />
  Right before the device clears its  data, it will send a last notice to the server. Accordingly, the server will be  very friendly to send the device owner a &quot;Remote Device Wipe  Confirmation&quot; email, telling you the device is cleared. (SP1 feature) <br />
  <img width="547" height="395" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/activesync_exchange2007/clip_image004.jpg" alt="" /> <br />
  <strong>Note</strong>: After the remote wipe, if you luckily find your lost  device and want to re-sync it, you must remove it from the OWA device list  (refer to &quot;Remove mobile device&quot; section for more info). Otherwise,  it will keep on re-wiping itself. This is a security feature by-design. <br />
  The following shows how to wipe and  cancel wipe with corresponding PowerShell command: <br />
  <em>[PS] D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator&gt;Clear-ActiveSyncDevice  -Identity:test@contoso.com\AirSync-PocketPC-v120Device</em> <br />
  <em>Confirm<br />
    Are you sure you want to perform this action?<br />
    Clearing Mobile Device<br />
  &quot;test@contoso.com\AirSync-PocketPC-v120Device&quot;. All the data on the  device will be permanently deleted.<br />
    [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help<br />
    (default is &quot;Y&quot;):y<br />
    [PS] D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator&gt;Clear-ActiveSyncDevice  -Identity:test@blah- dom.blah.com\AirSync-PocketPC-v120Device -Cancel:$true</em> <br />
  <strong><em>3) Remove mobile device partnership</em></strong> <br />
  <img width="179" height="27" src="file:///C|/Users/frank/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image005.jpg" alt="http://msexchangeteam.com/photos/postpictures2/images/439564/original.aspx" /> <br />
  This is the first link above the  device table. Basically what it does is to clean up the sync state data of the  selected device on the server. It&#8217;s useful in several situations: <br />
  a. Clean up data: if you switch to a  new device, the legacy data of the old device will still hang around occupying  your mailbox space. You can find the device and clean it out. <br />
  b. Terminate remote wipe: as being  said, if you want to re-sync your device after a remote-wipe, you have to come  to here to remove it first. <br />
  c. Start from scratch: well,  theoretically this wouldn&#8217;t happen, but it might in the real life &#8211; if you feel  your device is not working properly and want to start a fresh sync from the  scratch, you can remove the device partnership from the server (i.e. here) and  the device, then get fresh restart. <br />
  The corresponding PowerShell command  for the admin is as following: <br />
  <em>[PS] D:\Documents and  Settings\Administrator&gt;Remove-ActiveSyncDevice  -Identity:test@contoso.com\AirSync-PocketPC-v120Device</em> <br />
  <em>Confirm<br />
    Are you sure you want to perform this action?<br />
    Removing mobile device<br />
  &quot;test@contoso.com\AirSync-PocketPC-v120Device&quot;. All dataabout the  device will be removed. The device must be re-synchronized.<br />
    [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help<br />
    (default is &quot;Y&quot;):y</em> <br />
  <strong><em>4) Pin Recovery</em></strong> <br />
  <img width="347" height="84" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/activesync_exchange2007/clip_image006.jpg" /> <br />
  This is a nice feature to give the  EAS user a chance to unlock the device if he/she forgets the device PIN.  Clicking the &quot;Display Recovery Password&quot; will show a pop-up dialog  bearing the <strong>Recovery Password. </strong>Here, I&#8217;d like to call out that the  recovery password is NEITHER the same as the device PIN and, for example on  Windows Mobile (WM) devices, NOR used in the same way. Actually its usage is  sort of tricky: Menu, then Reset Password, &lt;type in new password&gt; then  &lt;type in <strong>Recovery Password</strong>&gt;. <br />
  There is no related PowerShell  command for an Exchange administrator to get this info due to security reasons. <br />
  <strong><em>5) Retrieve Log</em></strong> <br />
  <img width="106" height="23" src="file:///C|/Users/frank/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image007.jpg" alt="http://msexchangeteam.com/photos/postpictures2/images/439566/original.aspx" /> <br />
  Starting with Exchange 2007, we  provide a light-weight server logging to track details of the last 15  (configurable) requests/responses and possible errors for problem diagnosis. By  default, the logging is off. It can be turned on and tweaked easily from  web.config: <br />
  <em>&lt;add  key=&quot;MailboxLoggingEnabled&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/add&gt;<br />
  &lt;add key=&quot;NumOfQueuedMailboxLogEntries&quot;  value=&quot;15&quot;&gt;&lt;/add&gt;<br />
  &lt;add key=&quot;MaxSizeOfMailboxLog&quot;  value=&quot;8000&quot;&gt;&lt;/add&gt;</em> <br />
  After the Exchange administrator  turns on the logging and device starts syncing, a &quot;Retrieve Log&#8230;&quot;  link will show on the OWA device page to let the device owner grab the log,  which will be dropped into the Inbox as an attachment of an Action email,  titled as &quot;Log retrieved for device: XXXXXX&quot;. The log can be very  useful to Microsoft support personnel in diagnosing EAS issues. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Re-installing  the Cluster nodes in an Exchange 2007 CCR-based Mailbox Server Setup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Re-Installing the first CCR Node</strong><br />
  The  very first thing you’ll want to do is to logon to one of the CCR nodes. Then  ensure the Windows cluster resources and the clustered mailbox server is owned  by the opposite node than the one you’re going to reinstall first. To see which  node owns the Windows Cluster resources, open the Windows Cluster Administrator  console, then select the Groups node as shown in <strong>Figure 1</strong> below. As you  can see in the right pane the owner for both the Windows Cluster Group and the  CMS is revealed.<br />
  <img width="546" height="320" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image001.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 1:</strong> Cluster Administrator Console<br />
  <strong>Note:</strong><br />
  You can also see which node owns the CMS by typing <strong><em>Get-ClusteredMailboxServer  | FL</em></strong> in the Exchange Management Shell (EMS). If you’re running Exchange  2007 SP1, you can even use the Exchange Management Console (EMC) to check this.  This is done under the Server Configuration work center, where you open the  Property page for the CMS and then click the Clustered Mailbox Server tab).<br />
  If  the resources are owned by the node you planned on reinstalling first, you must  move them to the other node. As you probably had the CMS running in production  for quite some time, I shouldn’t need to tell you this but remember that it’s  only supported to move the Windows Cluster Group using the Windows Cluster  Administrator. The CMS must be moved using either the <strong><em>Move-ClusteredMailboxServer</em></strong> cmdlet (<strong>Figure 2</strong>) or if you’re using Exchange Server 2007 SP1 by using  the Manage Clustered Mailbox Server wizard in the EMC (<strong>Figure 3</strong>).<br />
  <img width="570" height="123" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image002.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2:</strong> Moving the clustered mailbox server using the Exchange  Management Shell<br />
  <img width="573" height="501" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image003.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 3:</strong> Moving the clustered mailbox server using the Exchange 2007  SP1 Management Console<br />
  When  the Windows Cluster Group and CMS have been moved to the other node, we can  begin uninstalling the Mailbox server role. To do so, open the Control Panel  and then Add/Remove Programs. Select Microsoft Exchange and click Remove (<strong>Figure  4</strong>). This will launch the Exchange 2007 Setup wizard.<br />
  <img width="570" height="264" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image004.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 4:</strong> Clicking Remove in Add or Remove Programs<br />
  On  the Exchange 2007 Setup wizard maintenance mode page, click Next then untick  Passive Clustered Mailbox Role and Management Tools. Click Next again.<br />
  <img width="574" height="501" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image005.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 5:</strong> Removing the Passive Clustered Mailbox Role<br />
  Let  the readiness checks complete then click Uninstall (<strong>Figure 6</strong>).<br />
  <img width="573" height="500" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image006.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 6:</strong> Readiness Checks completed successfully<br />
  When  the passive clustered mailbox role have been uninstalled, click Finish (<strong>Figure  7</strong>).<br />
  <img width="575" height="501" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image007.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 7:</strong> Exchange 2007 Passive Mailbox role and Management Tools  removed successfully<br />
  With  the passive clustered mailbox server role uninstalled, we can evict the node  from the Windows cluster. To do so, open the Cluster Administrator console,  then right-click on the respective node and select Stop Cluster Service in the  context menu as shown in <strong>Figure 8</strong>.<br />
  <img width="572" height="365" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image008.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 8:</strong> Stopping the cluster service<br />
  When  the cluster service has been stopped, we are able to evict the node. Do so by  right-clicking on the node that’s now offline then select Evict Node (<strong>Figure  9</strong>).<br />
  <img width="572" height="365" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image009.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 9:</strong> Evicting the cluster node<br />
  We’ll  get a warning message like the one shown in <strong>Figure 10</strong>, click Yes.<br />
  <img width="569" height="102" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image010.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 10:</strong> Warning message<br />
  We  have now removed the node from the Windows cluster (<strong>Figure 11</strong>).<br />
  <img width="488" height="259" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster//clip_image011.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 11:</strong> Cluster Administrator with one node<br />
  We  can begin to re-install the operating system, but before you do so please make  sure you have the NetBIOS name, IP addresses, LUNs etc. documented, so you know  how to configure these things when Windows Server 2003 has been reinstalled.  Before we re-add the node to the Active Directory domain, we must also make  sure the computer account is reset. To do so open the Active Directory Users  &amp; Computer MMC snap-in, then select the respective computer account object,  right-click on it and select Reset Account on the context menu (<strong>Figure 12</strong>).<br />

  <strong>Figure 12:</strong> Resetting the Active Directory Computer account<br />
  When  the cluster node has been reinstalled and you have configured the NetBIOS name,  IP addresses, and LUNs as well as added the node to the Active Directory domain,  the next task is to re-add the node to the Windows Server cluster. To do so,  open the Cluster Administrator console and then right-click somewhere in the  left pane. In the context menu, select New &gt; Node as shown in <strong>Figure 13</strong> below.<br />
  <img width="546" height="456" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image013.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 13:</strong> Adding a new node to the Windows Server 2003 cluster<br />
  On  the Add Notes Wizard welcome page, click Next, then enter the NetBIOS name of  the node you’re re-adding to the cluster and click Add (<strong>Figure 14</strong>).  Click Next.<br />

  <strong>Figure 14:</strong> Entering the NetBIOS name of the node to be re-added to the  cluster<br />
  The  cluster wizard will now analyze the cluster configuration (<strong>Figure 15</strong>).  When finished click Next.<br />

  <strong>Figure 15:</strong> Cluster configuration wizard analyzes the cluster  configuration<br />
  We  now need to enter the password for the cluster service account (<strong>Figure 16</strong>).  When you have done so, click Next.<br />
  <strong>Note:</strong><br />
  Although I use the Administrator account as the cluster service account in my  lab, you should always create a dedicated cluster service account for the  cluster when dealing with production environments. <br />
  <img width="503" height="387" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image016.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 16:</strong> Specifying the password for the Cluster Service Account<br />
  Now  verify you want to add the node to the proposed cluster configuration and click  Next (<strong>Figure 17</strong>).<br />
  <img width="503" height="386" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image017.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 17:</strong> Proposed Cluster Configuration <br />
  Wait  for the cluster to be configured and when possible click Next and finally  Finish to exit the Cluster setup wizard (<strong>Figure 18</strong>).<br />
  <img width="504" height="387" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image018.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 18:</strong> Cluster is configured</p>
<p>The clustered mailbox server in the lab I’m using for the purpose of this  article is running Exchange 2007 SP1, which is why I use the Exchange Server  2007 SP1 binaries to re-install the passive Mailbox role. If you’re CMS haven’t  yet been upgraded to Exchange 2007 SP1, it’s important you use the Exchange  2007 RTM binaries to re-install the passive Mailbox role.<br />
    <img width="570" height="427" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image019.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
    <strong>Figure 2.1:</strong> Exchange Server 2007 SP1 splash screen<br />
  On Introduction page, click Next &gt; accept the License Agreement and click  Next. Decide whether or not you want to enable error reporting, and then click  Next once again.<br />
  On the Exchange 2007 Setup Installation Type page, select Custom Exchange  Server Installation and click Next (<strong>Figure 2.2</strong>).<br />
  <img width="573" height="500" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image020.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2.2:</strong> Selecting a Custom Exchange Server Installation<br />
  Now tick Passive Clustered Mailbox Role. If you installed the Exchange 2007  binaries at another location than the default, this is also the page on which  you change the installation path (<strong>Figure 2.3</strong>). Click Next.<br />
  <img width="573" height="500" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image021.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2.3:</strong> Selecting Passive Clustered Mailbox Role and specifying the  Installation path<br />
  The readiness checks will now be performed. This will normally complete  without any issues or errors, but if you like me forgot to remove the database  and log files from the Database or Log file LUNs, you’ll receive an error  similar to the one shown in <strong>Figure 2.4</strong>.<br />
  <img width="573" height="500" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image022.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2.4:</strong> Readiness Check error as databases are present on the  database LUN<br />
  When removed, you should see a Readiness Checks page like the one in Figure  x (of course without the 32-bit version warning). Click Install.<br />
  <img width="573" height="499" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image023.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2.5:</strong> Readiness Checks Completed Successfully<br />
  The installation process will now begin and after a few minutes you should  get a completion page as shown below (<strong>Figure 2.6</strong>).<br />
  <img width="573" height="500" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image024.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2.6:</strong> Installation of Passive Clustered Mailbox Role installed  successfully<br />
  Now that the Exchange 2007 SP1 binaries have been installed, we must reboot  the node before continuing with the next steps.<br />
  Next step is to reseed the storage group copies, so that the CCR node gets  up to date replicas of each the active databases. This can be done using the  Exchange Management Shell and when speaking Exchange 2007 SP1 the Exchange  Management Console (EMC) UI. In this article, we’ll use the EMC UI, so launch  the EMC. In the EMC, select the clustered mailbox server under the Server  Configuration work center. As we can see in <strong>Figure 2.7</strong> below, the copy  status is currently in a failed mode, which is expected. <br />
  <img width="571" height="373" src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/reinstall_exchange2007_cluster/clip_image025.jpg" alt="image" /><br />
  <strong>Figure 2.7:</strong> Copy status is currently in a Failed state<br />
  If we open the Property page for one of the storage groups and click on the  Cluster Continuous Replication tab, we can also see that no logs have been  copied to the newly installed CCR node.</p>
<p>Start the replication<br />
  You will need to run following power shell commands to start the  replication. You will be running this exchange shell commands on the node you  have reinstalled. Locate Exchange Management Shell and fire it up.</p>
<pre>Suspend-StorageGroupCopy -Identity “exmbx01\first storage group”</pre>
<p> Now on the node you have reinstalled  go to the directory that contains log files for the storage group, in my  example it is located on<br />
  C:\MountPoints\Clusterdisk1\FirstStorageGroup\Logs\<br />
  Remove any files located in this directory.<br />
  Now we need to reseed storage group to new node. Open up Exchange Management  Shell and run the following command.<br />
  Update-StorageGroupcopy –Identity “exmbx01\first storage group”<br />
  Depending on the database size, it can take a bit of time.<br />
  After you should see that the status is healthy</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>System Center Data Protection Manager 2007</h1>
<p>In this post, I explain how you can use System Center Data Protection  Manager 2007 (hereafter DPM) to recover a single Exchange Server 2007 mailbox  to a Recovery Storage Group (hereafter RSG) and &#8216;merge&#8217; the restore with the  actual mailbox.</p>
<p>On our production environment, we have Exchange Server 2007 SP1 SCC running  on a Windows Server 2008 failover cluster.</p>
<p>Before continuing, make sure you have created a Recovery Storage Group on  your Exchange 2007 mailbox server for the mailbox database that you want to  restore to. This can be done via GUI (Toolbox &gt; Database Recovery  Management) or via Powershell.</p>
<p>new-storagegroup  -Server &lt;Server_Name&gt; -LogFolderPath path_to_Logfiles&gt; -Name  &lt;RSG_Name&gt; -SystemFolderPath &lt;Database_Path&gt; -Recovery</p>
<p>On the DPM server, click on the <strong>Recovery </strong>tab, and navigate  through the hierarchy and locate the storage group that contains the mailbox  that you want to recover. Double clicking on the mailbox database, shows a list  of mailboxes. Right click on the mailbox  you want to restore and click <strong>Recover</strong>.  You can also select a date and time of the recovery point from which you would  like to restore.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image001.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery1" width="504" height="366" /></p>
<p>In the Recovery Wizard, review the recovery information click Next and  select the recovery type. Click browse to select your mailbox server. You will  have to manually type the Storage Group Name (specify your Recovery Storage  Group name here) and your Database Name (the mailbox database name inside your  RSG).</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image002.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery2" width="504" height="406" /></p>
<p>Click <strong>Next</strong>, review the options and begin the restoration  process.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image003.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery3" width="504" height="404" /></p>
<p>Once the recovery process is complete, go back to the Exchange 2007 mailbox  server. Open <strong>Exchange Management Console</strong> &#8211;&gt; <strong>Toolbox</strong> &#8211;&gt; <strong>Database Recovery Management</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Mount </strong>the Mailbox database that you just restored in the  Recovery Storage Group. This shouldn&#8217;t require more explanation.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image004.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery4" width="504" height="578" /></p>
<p>After mounting the database, come back to the above menu and select <strong>Merge  or copy mailbox contents</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image005.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery6" width="504" height="204" /></p>
<p>Select the mailbox database that contains the mailbox you want to recover  and click <strong>Gather Merge information</strong>. On the next screen, review  the merge options and click <strong>Perform pre-merge tasks</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image006.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery9" width="504" height="304" /></p>
<p>Select your mailbox and click <strong>Perform Merge actions</strong>. Once  the process completes, review the result.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/dpm_exchange2007/clip_image007.jpg" border="0" alt="DPMrecovery10" width="504" height="285" /></p>
<p>The restored mailbox on the RSG database is now merged with the production  database.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Exchange 2007  Recovery Storage Group With NTBACKUP</span></h1>
<p><strong>Exchange 2007 Recovery Storage Group  : utilizing power shell</strong></p>
<p>Microsoft introduced the Recovery  Storage Group with Exchange 2003 which added some nice recovery functionality;  we no longer needed a recovery AD forest to restore items to mailboxes or a  single mailbox. Exchange 2007 has kept this feature however has drastically  changed the interface and added the ability to use power shell for recovery.</p>
<p>For this article I am going to focus on  using power shell only to recover mailboxes and messages to a mailbox. One big  change is that even when a RSG is created you will not see it with the gui  (EMC) and it can only been see via power shell.</p>
<p>First let’s start by logging onto a  mailbox and seeing the content</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image001.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="112" /></p>
<p>As you can see we have 3 new messages  in Jodie’s mailbox</p>
<p>Now we can use NTBackup to backup our  Exchange servers database</p>
<p>1. Launch NTBackup from the system tools</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image002.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="238" /><br />
2. Select next on the backup/restore  wizard</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image003.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="246" /></p>
<p>3. Choose the radius button to backup files and settings</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image004.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="244" /></p>
<p>4. Select the radius button “Let me  choose what to backup”</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image005.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="241" /></p>
<p>5. I am only going to backup the  first storage group since that is the location of mymailboxes</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image006.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="244" /></p>
<p>6. Specify the location of the backup  (D:\backup)</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image007.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="246" /></p>
<p>7. Click finish to start the backup</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image008.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="242" /></p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image009.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="285" height="320" /></p>
<p>Here we can see our backup file has  been created.</p>
<p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jG-efUpJ7Oc/Rz-DfxauECI/AAAAAAAAARU/NMgVJ31ChQA/s1600-h/back8.jpg"><img src="../../AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/OfficeImageTemp/clip_image010.jpg" border="0" alt="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jG-efUpJ7Oc/Rz-DfxauECI/AAAAAAAAARU/NMgVJ31ChQA/s320/back8.jpg" width="320" height="59" /></a></p>
<p>Now that we have a current backup I  am going to delete the messages from Jodie’s mailbox so that we can then use a  recovery storage group to recover the data .</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image011.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="91" /></p>
<p>Lets create a new RSG and take a look  in the gui and then the command line.</p>
<p>To create an RSG we use the <strong>new-storagegroup</strong> commad but add the <strong>-Recover</strong> switch</p>
<p>new-storagegroup -Server vmmbx1 -LogFolderPath d:\rsg\logs -Name ExchangeGenie</p>
<p>-SystemFolderPath d:\rsg\data -Recovery</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image012.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="75" /></p>
<p>now that we have created our RSG let  see if we get any info from EMC</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image013.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="143" /></p>
<p>As you can see the RSG does not show  up</p>
<p>but if we do a get-storgegroup fl our  new RSG will be shown</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image014.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="259" /></p>
<p>notice the recovery option is set to  true</p>
<p>Now that we have created an RSG we  need to add the database we want to recover</p>
<p>new-mailboxdatabase  -mailboxdatabasetorecover “Mailbox Database” -storagegroup Vmmbx1\ExchangeGenie  -edbfilepath “D:\RSG\Data\mailbox database.edb”</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image015.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="43" /></p>
<p>We do not need to set this database  can be overwritten since that is enabled by default.</p>
<p>Now that we have created our RSG and  added the appropriate database to the RSG we now have to restore the data from  backup.</p>
<p>1. Launch NTBackup</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image016.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="235" /></p>
<p>2. Click Next</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image017.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="249" /></p>
<p>3. Select the backup we want to  restore</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image018.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="239" /></p>
<p>4. input a temp location for the  patch file and Check “Last Restore”</p>
<p>**since this is a full backup and no  other logs are to be restored the last restore check box is marked”***</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image019.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="247" /></p>
<p>5. Click Next to start the restore</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image020.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="241" /></p>
<p>6. Click close after the restore  completes</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image021.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="300" /></p>
<p>You can see we now have data restored  to our recovery database location.</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image022.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="119" /></p>
<p>Now that the data has been restored  from our backup we need to mount the recovery database</p>
<p>mount-database -identity  ‘vmmbx1\exchangegenie\mailbox database’</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image023.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="38" /></p>
<p>Now that we have created our RSG,  added a recovery database, and restored our data from backup we can now recover  data to our users mailbox.</p>
<p>I will perform 3 different recoveries</p>
<p>1. Merge data back into a users  mailbox</p>
<p>2. Merge data back into a sub folder in the users mailbox</p>
<p>3. Merge data to another users mailbox into a subfolder</p>
<p><strong>Merge Data back to the original  location </strong></p>
<p>The following command will merge the  data from our recovery database back to the original live mailbox.</p>
<p>Restore-Mailbox -id ‘Jodie Bartos’  -RSGDatabase ‘ExchangeGenie\Mailbox Database’</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image024.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="30" /></p>
<p>You can see that all our messages have been brought back  to the original location</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image025.jpg" border="0" alt="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jG-efUpJ7Oc/Rz-MsBauEPI/AAAAAAAAAS8/dlR1NEaODDc/s320/restoredtoinbox.jpg" width="320" height="132" /></p>
<p><strong>Merge data into a sub folder in a  users mailbox</strong></p>
<p>Restore-Mailbox -RSGMailbox ‘Jodie Bartos’ -RSGDatabase ‘ExchangeGenie\Mailbox  Database’ -id ‘Jodie.Bartos’ -targetfolder ‘RestoredMail’</p>
<p><strong><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image026.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="96" /></strong></p>
<p>You can see we have a new folder  called RestoredMail which has a copy of the user inbox</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image027.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="194" /></p>
<p><strong>Merge data to another users mailbox into a subfolder</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Restore-Mailbox -RSGMailbo ‘Jodie Bartos’ -RSGDatabase  ‘ExchangeGenie\Mailbox Database’ -id ‘Brian.Tirch’-targetfolder ‘JodiesMbx’</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image028.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="33" /></p>
<p>You can see my mailbox now has a subfolder called  JodiesMbx with a copy of all her data</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image029.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="189" /></p>
<p>There are a number of recovery options that I did not  mention in this blog i.e datarate,keywords, etc… that allow a more flexable  recovery</p>
<p>After we completed our recover we need to remove the RSG,  this is an item that you should not keep unless you are utilizing it.</p>
<p>First we need to dismount the database</p>
<p>Dismount-database -identity ‘vmmbx1\exchangegenie\mailbox  database’</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image030.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="77" /></p>
<p>Now that we have dismounted the database we need to remove  it</p>
<p>Remove-MailboxDatabase -identity  ‘vmmbx1\ExchangeGenie\Mailbox Database’</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image031.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="109" /></p>
<p>**Note this will not delete the files from the drive, you  must manually delete the restored database ***</p>
<p>The last step we need to remove the Recovery Storage Group</p>
<p>Remove-StorageGroup -identity ‘Vmmbx1\ExchangeGenie’</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image032.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="84" /></p>
<p>To validate our RSG is gone we need to use the  Get-StorageGroup command</p>
<p><img src="http://frankmancuso.ca/images/ntbackup_exchange2007/clip_image033.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="320" height="81" /></p>
