Hi, I have Exchange 2007-sp2 with all roles in my organisation now i am thinking about backup of it.So i have decided to install another Exchange 2007 in my organisation with all roles on another box.So that if my Production one will be failed then i can restore backup on new one. Please suggest how to install second Exchange 2007 -sp2 in Existing Exchange 2007 environment. Thanks

Hi, To simply install another Exchange server with in existing Exchange environment just make this new server member server to the AD (u will need to put correct DNS IP in the LAN settings of this new server, the DNS which host the AD records) and then run the Exchange setup. It will automatically detect the Existing exchange installation and attach the new roles with Existing Exchange environment.

Hi,Completly agree with Mr Qazi. The second server need to be a member of domain and run the Exchange setup file.Refer to previous threads:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrdeploy/thread/23c9f695-27f1-470a-a4bd-f3036de6e064http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchangesvrdeploy/thread/1edb7a00-6cfc-45d2-9898-78852f58f08c

Thanks Qazi,Let me do it then i will tell you if there will be any issue.Thanks
