hi all, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere - extensive searching brings up answers to situations not quite the same as this
background
working SBS 2011 - windows update, reboot, green loading bar no disk activity no further
tried other disk from mirror - same
tried restore from windows own backup drive - same
restore from removable backup - same
agree with customer to re-install from scratch, not an overly large network, no biggy
everything reinstalled to same hardware
attach 'old' exchange database and recover mailboxes
now the question
how do i get the 'old' companyweb on to this new server
documentation for this procedure under SBS2003 was spot on kb827701, just need an equivalent for SBS2011
don't have a flatfile backup, just the contents of the SQL SHAREPOINT folders
domain is the same
server name is the same
admin account is the same
admin account password is the same
server IP is the same
can't believe i'm the only one that's seen this problem
thanks in advance for your help and ideas
mark
