ID: Q161436

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

To rebuild Microsoft Exchange Server with Service Pack 3, perform the following steps:

  1. Install Exchange Server with Service Pack 2 by running setup. No flag, such as "/r" for recovery, is necessary. In fact, this flag may cause errors later when restoring from the backup.


  2. Select "Create a new site" and enter the same Organization and Site names as the backup.


  3. Apply Exchange Service Pack 3 updates. Again, no flag is necessary.


  4. Restore from the backup.


  5. Stop the Information Store and MTA services.


  6. Run ISINTEG -patch.


  7. Start the Information Store and MTA services.


Exchange Server with Service Pack 3 should be completely rebuilt and begin functioning.
