SYMPTOMS

When you need to perform disaster recovery of the Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 databases, you may receive the following error message while you are trying to install a copy of Exchange Server 5.5 from BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5:

While attempting to start the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, the following error was encountered:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. Microsoft Windows NT

The computer where you are trying to install Exchange 5.5 runs Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (or later) and Small Business Server (SBS) 2000.
