Lost Exchange Server Recovery | Exchange Disaster Recovery

hello friends and welcome to techie check in our previous video we have seen how we can reconnect our disabled mailboxes and now in this video we can see how we can recover our lost server there can be scenarios where an administrator can encounter in the situation where he lost a server and the server is not able to start are not able to recover and if in this situation if the deployment of Exchange Server is a single server deployment that means the complete email system is dead now so is it possible to recover a dead server yes there is a possibilities because most of the exchange configuration data is stored in Active Directory and we can restore and recover our exchange functionality to a new server by running a specific command but there are some key points to keep in mind before recovering our question server so let's see what are those points when you lost the old server you have to take a new virtual machine or a physical server and you have to install a new server with the same operating system and the same version and Edition as the lost server was and install the exchange server pre requests on the new server and after that deploy the same number of disk and configure with the same drive letters reset the computer account in Active Directory that belonged to the lost server and rename the new server with the same name that belonged to a lost server and assigned the same IP address to a new server that belongs to a lost server and join the new server to the same domain where the lost server was a member now sign into a new exchange server with the necessary permission to install the exchange server and then locate the installation file and run the command like setup am recovered server I accept exchange server license terms after installing this command and new exchange installation will be done on a new server and all the functionality will be restored to a server but you should have a backup of your databases and once the installation is done you can restore your databases to a new server and all the functionality with the emails and databases will be up again so let's jump to our computer and see how we can perform this task so right now we are on our server and let's see the configuration of our exchange server first so let me try to coupon exchange server we maximize it and if we see the properties over exchange server we have a seven point eight one kicks off ramp that means like I have given it 800 MB of RAM and you can see the Windows Server 2016 datacenter Edition so we have an addition we have memory here and if I see the disk I have a C Drive and F Drive and inside the F Drive I have a log and MB DB folder so the exchange database is here and if we check about the IP address let me see the IP address the IP address of our exchange server is 2.12 the Gateway is 2.1 and the DNS server is p dot level and also let's see the name of our exchange server the name of the computer name is exchange and it has joined and a domain like techie Jake taught in so we have a computer name we have a IP address we have a drive letters that is f and the sizes 16gb what I will do here I will just pause this machine and we'll configure it the another machine with the same configuration and we'll try to install an exchange functionality with the recover switch and let's see if we get success on that or not so let's jump over new machine and try to configure it I have a new machine with the name of this is the exchange which is running it has assigned memory eight hundred eight thousand MB so this is a new machine and let's go to the setting let's do that 8,000 MB and it's a it's not a dynamic memory processor ok now the memory is same and I have assigned a drive to this chain let me turn it on on let's start it and by the time I will just pause this another machine running let's try to prepare this machine first of all let's see the name of the okay the name is something different so let's quickly go ahead and change the name as a exchange restart later the memory is installed and the computer is renamed and let's change the IP address together it's one ninety two dot one sixty eight dot 2.12 68 or two dot one and the DNS was one ninety two dot one sixty eight dot two dot okay we don't have a F tribe here so let's go to the file and storage see the disk here it is a 16gb bring online yes leo volume next 16 gb f the older one was f new volume the drive has also assigned now close let's restart the server now the new exchanger has been restarted and let's quickly install the pre request for the Exchange Server 2016 I haven't check like Exchange Server 2016 pray request take a check so let you will install V C++ redistribution package install this one as well Microsoft Unified Communication API let me quickly download it and install it the unified communication managed EPA this is important install let me quickly install it microsoft visual c++ 2012 successfully installed its 2013 unified communication managed api pick up a this installation is completed there was a three main thing the dotnet framework is not required for 2016 server it is already pre-installed C++ redistribution 2012 in 2013 is installed and many Microsoft unified communication is also installed let's run this come on it's collecting data and will install the required feature for Exchange Server and I'll pause the video for a while once it is installed we have to restart the computer by the time let's try to reset the Active Directory account for this exchange server here we have the computer account that is exchanged and let's reset that now all the components and features for Exchange Server has been installed let me close this now and we have a pre request installed let's cross-check our check points once again we have installed the same operating system and we have installed the pre request we have deployed the disk with the same drive letters we have reset the computer account in Active Directory we have renamed our server we have assigned the IP now the time to join the server to a new domain and after that we can start the installation of exchange with the setup recover switch just want to tell you that before pausing that machine like the old server I was able to login to the page but now we are not able to access the page as you can see the exchange is not there so it will not get connected you can see the site cannot be reached now so let's join our server to a domain and after that we will in start the recovery process she's welcome to take a check not n domain now the machine is join and it will ask for the restart let me restart it now we'll be back when some machine is restarted now the server has been restarted and joined to the domain let's try to login with the domain administrator now our all the main points like main key points has been done like we have installed a new operating system with the same edition and install the pre request on the new server we have deployed the same number of discs we have renamed the server as a previous loss server and we have reset the computer account in Active Directory also and we have joined the server to the domain as well and we are login with the permission of a domain administrator so that we can install exchange setup with the recovery switch command so now it's time to run the command so let's go to the C Drive and let me mount the exchange v so here you can see the setup file let's go to the command prompt and let's switch to the eat right if I see di er yes we have exchange files here and now you can set up dot exe I accept exchange server license terms / slash mode recover server and hit enter it will start the copping pile and then it will check for the languages and after that it will check for the pre request and then will start the installation to let wait for a while now you can see the pretty question analysis has been completed successfully now it's configuring Microsoft Exchange server so it's preparing setup now right now it's copying the exchange files and after copying these files it will set the languages file and after that it will start restoring the services and it will take a good time to complete this installation now it's restoring mailbox rule that is transport service and after that it will go to the client access service and it will restore it now you can see all the the services has been successfully completed like transport service client access unified 16 management tool front-end service in front-end transport service now you have to just restart the computer and you have to restore your database to make your exchange up and running
