hello people
i am doing a test disaster recovery scenario from where i have a production domain controller and exchange server (VMs)
Phase1: restore the domain controller to an alternate client
Phase2: Restore the exchange mailbox database to an alternate client
Under Phase1: i tried initiating the restore, from the Netbackup Master server, it showed successful but i realised no files were restored. on the restored server, i saw no restored content eg Active Directory folders etc under Administrator tools.
Question 1: Do i have to make the alternate restore client a Domain controller using DC Promo to be able to view the restored active directory files or do i make a Domain controller after the restore and then reboot?
I need the system state to be successful so i can now proceed with the exchange side of the test restores.
Please i need clues on how to achieve this successful as it doesnt seem to work here. Thanks
