Exchange_Geek -> RE: Activating SCR (5.Jul.2008 1:20:20 PM)

In DR scenario, if we totally lost the other site, will we able to get the SCR copy activated?
Well, what you would have to understand is that you would have to basically make the mailboxes point to the "New Server".
So steps for doing this would be first to suspend the replication, mount the DB (keeping in mind all the logs have replicated and replayed)
lastly move the mailboxes (using the configurationonly cmdlet). Once this is done - reseed the DB on to the "original server" when ever its back up and running.
in this case will database portability works if the source server is not available? or /recoverserver is the option to use? (note: the other server is not a standby server but also a production server)
It will definitely work -thats the very reason why SCR came into existance or in other words it was brought to exist.
