Status: offline 		We have one Exchange 2003 and five Exchange 5.5 servers. There was a HD failure on one of the 5.5 servers last week. Luckily the MDBDATA and MTADATA folders/contents were on a different drive.

I put in a new HD and rebuilt the server, using the same name. Now when I try to install 5.5 on the rebuilt server I receive the error: The server 'SERVER' already exists in site 'DOMAIN.' You must either completely remove it before continuing, or choose another server to replicate with.

Does anyone know if I can remove the server from the Exchange environment and then re-add it and point it to the DB files that I have?

Basicly remove the server then install with the same name , then shutdown the exchange stuff and put the old edbs back in place.
