You can use Exchange 2000 Setup to perform the following functions:
- Install Exchange 2000 on a server.
- Change Exchange 2000 components on a server.
- Remove Exchange 2000 components from a server.
- Repair an Exchange 2000 installation on a server already running Exchange 2000 by running Setup in Reinstall mode.
- Recover a server running Exchange 2000.
Note To recover a server running Exchange 2000, run Exchange 2000 Setup in Disaster Recovery mode. In Disaster Recovery mode, Setup uses the information stored in Active Directory to recover configuration data that was lost.
Automating Exchange 2000 Setup (for example, using the Setup.ini batch script) is helpful when initially installing Exchange 2000. However, you cannot automate Exchange 2000 Setup in Disaster Recovery mode.
If you need to run Exchange 2000 Setup in Disaster Recovery mode, you must run Setup manually. If you previously ran Exchange 2000 Setup with a batch file script, you can still perform a disaster recovery on that server by manually running Exchange 2000 Setup in Disaster Recovery mode.
