You are the systems administrator for your company. The company’s network consists of a single Active Directory domain with five domain controllers. The network contains Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008. The Messaging Server fails due to a hardware failure. You want to replace the server with a new server.
You back up the data files for the Messaging Server. Which step should you perform after backing up the data?
A.
Run the Windows EBS Preparation Wizard.
B.
Run the Windows EBS Planning Wizard.
C.
Run the Windows EBS Installation Wizard.
D.
Join the new server to the domain.
Explanation:
You should run the Windows EBS Installation Wizard. You can replace a server for Windows EBS in the event a hardware failure occurs or if you want to upgrade any of the servers to a new computer. The Windows EBS Installation Wizard allows you to replace the servers running Windows EBS. Before proceeding with the server replacement, you should back up the data files for the Windows EBS server roles that are installed on the computer you are replacing. After backing up the data files, you should start the replacement process by running the Windows EBS Installation Wizard.You should not run the Windows EBS Preparation Wizard or the Windows EBS Planning Wizard. These wizards must only be run when you initially install Windows EBS. These wizards should not be run when you replace a server.
You should not join the new server to the domain. This step is performed after the installation of Windows Server 2008 and the initial configuration of the new server when you run the Windows EBS Installation Wizard.
