If the original exchange server no longer exists, then flat file exchange restores will fail with a message stating it cannot connect with the exchange server error 10061. This problem affects all versions of Exchange. This knowledge base article provides a work-around for this situation.
When UltraBac does a flat file exchange restore, it tries to communicate with the original exchange server and then it performs the restore. If the original exchange server is not on-line, then the following steps will allow for the flat-file restore to another server.
On the server where you want to initiate the restore:
Open UltraBac and go to "Manage"/"General"/"User Options" and place a checkmark next to the option for Advanced Options.
Close UltraBac.
Install the Exchange Management tools from the Exchange installation Media.
Open Windows Explorer and go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc."
Open the file "hosts" with notepad.
Add an entry with the IP address of the computer you are on and the name of the original exchange server.
Save the hosts file.
UltraBac, load the backup and perform the restore.
