Exchange 2010 - Repair or reinstall

[newpersn]

Hi

 

We been hit with a virus over the weekend and its hit us quite bad.

 

They took our exchange box out along with the databases.

 

We have a Windows Backup of the OS/Files etc.. before we was hit (Friday)

 

I have restored all files and folder to a clean server on same (ish) hardware

 

How do i repair or reinstall exchange?

To install a server without any mailboxes but with all your config (this is stored in AD) run this installer switch

 

Setup /m:RecoverServer

 

Once you have done that you can recover the databases.

Cant install .NET Framework 3.5 :/

if its server 2012 onwards you need to specify an installation source (little button or box at the bottom of the wizard screen) for .net 3.5 if you point it at the winsxs folder on your installation source it will complete.

Dosnt give an error. Just wants to rollback and reboot.... I'm making it do windows updates currently to see if it will improve things..

[SHimmer45]

hmmm id be tempted to flatten it and then install .net before doing windows updates, if there is something iffy about the install you dont want that coming back when its your email server.

I flattened it and restarted and install NET 3.5 first...

 

Now i get this:

*Taken from the log file*

 

IIS6 is installed but cant see no sign of IIS7

[newpersn]

Do I need to have exchange installed before doing setup.com /m:recoverserver?

[SHimmer45]

looks like .net 3.5 needs IIS installed as it part of the package

I managed to us Windows Server Backup and done a Bare Metal Recovery but it not responding very well once back in the OS...

 

Very slow to open Network setting to enter it old IP, Virtual Disc Service, Domain join. (it seem like it network related.... )

 

Any ideas?

Scrap that now.. Took it off the domain and rejoined it and it seems like it back to normal self.
