Re: Duplicate SBS Backup Server

minty1978 — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:29:35 GMT

hi guys and gals,

its been a while, but I have only just been able to retry the server (its been a quiet day in the office).

I have done another ASR through Server 2003 to the duplicate server...then installed it on the network. (removing the normal SBS server first)

None of the client machines (all XP) are able to see the duplicate server. I am unable to ping the IP or the name of the server...however I can ping our router.

The duplicate server seems in fine form, it has copied over the CALs to the duplicate server....everything should be perfect, but its not.

The one thing i did notice, the normal server has a modem in it for recieving faxes, where as the duplicate server does not. Also I believe the HD's are different makes in the backup server. Could these two small differences be confusing the poor machine?

Any views appreciated.

i had this problem too with WM5 and WPA, the way i got round it was to install the WM6 ROM...works fine now.

just a breif update:

I have not had a chance to run the backup server on the network yet, but I have checked the SID's of bother servers, and the are a perfect match!

So I just need to get the backup server on the network and try it...just wish people didnt use there computers all day :(

Hi,

Acronis restore did not work...once completed it had managed to corrupt the active directory.

I have now used Server 2003 ASR tool, the server is functioning, but I have not put it on the network yet. I will try a 'wet test' later and post the results.

Thanks for the reply terry :)

The servers are identical, so I am going to run Acronis True Image Server Ed tonight, and restore it on the second server.

The XP machines are already on static (some of the software we use is really fussy about IPs), and the server does have DHCP enabled.

Will try the imaging, and let you know.

Thanks again. S

Duplicate SBS Backup Server

minty1978 — Thu, 31 May 2007 14:06:40 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a bit of a problem:

We run 1 MS SBS for our 8 PC Network, we would like a duplicate server that we could keep offsite, and use incase of a disaster...

Easy I here you say?! We have taken a full backup of the existing server, and loaded it onto an identical machine.

Then removed the normal server from the network and put the backup server in its place...

The 'New' Server boots up, and all seems ok, however non of the network machines can see it, or log onto the network, and the server can not be pinged from any machine on the network.

I 'think' it may be down to the licences on the back up server...as the amount of licences differs from the amount on the regular server.

Am I close? Any input would be grately appreciated.
