Hey all,
Hope someone can assist with this one.
History: C volume ran out of space on our server. Imaged C and D volumes to
externally connected hard drive. Resized partitions on primary array (RAID5)
and imaged them back. Forgot to disconnect the "Image" drive before booting
and OS booted to it. During that process, renamed old C and D partitions on
RAID5 array to F and G. Couldn't log in as it was unable to find correct
pathame to local database (this is a DC and single 2k3 Exchange server by
the way).
Intsalled parallel copy of 2003, loaded hive from original OS and renamed
reg keys per Microsoft's knoledgebase articles when drive letters get
changed. Fixed issue, booted up normally, and could log in. Now we can't log
into OWA. Getting prompt to authenticate, but returns HTTP/1.1 503 Service
Unavailable.
Followed numerous MS recommdations for resetting virtual directories,
rebuidling metabase, restored folders on C partition from backup (except
Windows directory), followed directions for checking values in database
using ADSIEdit and still correct it.
