The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

ASR Restore On To Different Hardware? (SBS 2003)

Asked by gcz in SBS Small Business Server, Windows 2003 Server, Disaster Recovery

Hi Experts,

We are currently going through some DR tests for our network and I am looking at the possibility of using ASR restore to restore our SBS 2003 server to different hardware if needed (as well as thrid part solutions). I have run into a problem though:

Using a test network, I perform an ASR backup of an SBS 2003 server, remove it from the network and perform a restore on to a different box. This goes fine, and the machine boots up OK. I then perform a full restore of the system partition (using Backup Exec 11d) and reboot.

All still fine. I then boot to DSRM to restore the system state. When I then reboot, I get a stop error 0x0000007B every time. I know this error usually relates to drivers, which I thought might crop up eventually, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Now the system seemd to be running OK before I performed the system state restore - Sharepoint was up and running, network services were running. I hadn't got as far as restoring the Exchange DB though. I also have a second DC on the network which the SBS server can replicate from.

My question is really - does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this stop error? More to the point, could I even get away without restoring the system state? What would be the issues with leaving the system state as it was at the point of the ASR backup? (considering that I have a second DC to replicate AD from).

Is ASR restore a viable solution for restoring an SBS server to different hardware?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
