I've an Exchange Server 2010, which runs on a WinSrv2008 R2 virtual machine. I backed up daily this machine (entire VM) with Backup Exec 2015. I restored the VM into an separetad network, furthermore I restored the primary and secondary Domain Controllers from .vhdx files. Unfortunately, when I turned on the Exchange server's VM I got an error: Microsoft Emulated IDE Controller (Instance ID ....): Failed to Power on with Error 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.'.
If I start the secondary DC, I couldn't login with Domain Administrator account. And the primary DC crashes with a BSOD.
I read some disaster recovery plan about DCs and mail server, but I don't know yet how can restore the Exchange Server from .vhd to operate successful?
