Nice walkthrough,
Although why would you care what the exchange computer name is?
The clients will rehome, right?

Thanks

Drew,

the mailbox is rehome but the client is not, so lets say you use Outlook 2003 and I move your mailbox when you go home, then turn off the server you use to be on. the next day Outlook chokes because the redirect it done after Outlook talks to the old server. There for if you recover the server with the same name you do not have to deal with any client configuration issues.

Nice and to the point. I wish all instructions I read were this direct and descriptive.

If you do not want to remane the recovery server and you want your clients to rehome. You can remove the downed server from DNS and readd it as an alias and point to the recovery server name. I do this when we test our Disaster Recovery and it rehomes the clients.

if all clients are using outlook 2007 could you skip all the steps required to rename the computer and remove it from AD?

thanks
