Storage Mirroring High availability for Exchange Server 2000/2003 application notes 11
PreBack.BAT
NOTE: A copy of this sample script (preback.bat.sample) is available in the Samples folder, located
in the directory where Storage Mirroring is installed. After you modify the sample script, copy the script
and save it with a new name to remove the .sample extension.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the Exchange Failover utility, you will need to do the
following:
• Compare the sample scripts to your failback and post-restore scripts and incorporate the new
commands (-nopublicfolders, -onlypublicfolders) into your scripts.
Modify the failover and failback scripts to remove the NSISPN commands. This functionality has been
incorporated into the utility and is no longer necessary in the scripts. Leaving the commands in the scripts
will not cause any harm or failure in execution.
4. On the target, open the Failover Control Center. (Start, Programs, Storage Mirroring, Failover Control
Center).
5. Select the target machine from the list of available machines. If the target you need is not displayed,
click Add Target, enter the machine name, and click OK.
6. Click Login to login to the target machine.

click OK. The Monitor Settings window will open.

to Monitor tree.

password with full domain administrative privileges.

12.Click Scripts and specify the location and file names of the scripts created earlier.
