uses data that is stored in Active Directory to re - create the necessary configuration parameters on the
server. If an installation never successfully completes, the data in Active Directory is not complete and

a recovery will only further complicate the problem. If the Exchange server that is to be restored has the
Edge role installed, using the recover server feature is also not supported. The Edge server ??™ s
configuration is not stored in Active Directory, so upon recovery there would be no data available to
recover! If the server you wish to recover has had its data deleted from Active Directory, recover server
will not work. Also do not use the recover server feature to modify cluster configuration settings.
Once the recover server process is complete, there may be instances where additional reconfiguration may
be necessary. The following bullet points describe some of the additional configuration options that
may be necessary before the server is fully operational:
??‘ If any customization has been done to Exchange virtual directories in IIS, the customizations
will need to be reapplied.
??‘ Any third - party software that is used in conjunction with Exchange will need to be reinstalled.
