We are in
the process of testing the Exchange 2010 with DAG recovery in an isolated DR
site. The setup has 2 Exchange 2010 Servers with DAG and CAS & HT roles
co-hosted in the same server.<o:p></o:p>
AD has been
fully restored in DR isolated site and working. However how do I proceed with recovering
the 1st exchange server with DAG and CAS & HT roles. I know in a production
environment if a DAG member server fails you can recover the server by
following the document where you will remove the failed server from DAG
membership and run the setup with recoverserver switch and the add DAG reference
server back to DAG. <o:p></o:p>

But here
its bit tricky situation and not sure how we should remove the DAG. reference
before restore the first server. This is the first server in the isolated DR
site we are trying to recover. I also know that you when run Setup
/m:RecoverServer without removing the DAG configuration for that server, setup
fails.<o:p></o:p>
Does anyone
has practically implemented this in an isolated DR site and what are the procedure
should be followed.<o:p></o:p>
Many thanks<o:p></o:p>
