SBS 2003 Server Crashed, Need to restore AD and Exchange to new Server

Asked by azthewolf in Exchange Email Server, SBS Small Business Server, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

Tags: SBS2003 Exchange, AD, SBS 2008

I have read many of the posts here about restoring to different hardware, but would like to pose a question. I have a customer with a very old server running sbs2003, the server crashed (bad Mother board) can not find replacement.
We have another member server that contains 99% of the data, but is not a DC, so users are not able to authorize and get to data. This is a not for profit company, and they have had a rather large donation of a new server and SBS2008, problem is it will not be here for at least a week.

I would like to restore the exchange data to a temporary SBS 2003 server, this is the most important data on that server, I would also love to have AD restored if possible. There are about 40 users in the environment, and I just need a temp fix until I can migrate or setup SBS2008 next week. They have been running symantec backup exec and have a backup of system state and information store. Any help would be great.
