What happens when someone kills your Application Server? So imagine the scenario: Three Server Solution - SQL - SharePoint 2010 and Project Server 2010 Application Server (Central Admin Host) - Wfe/ReportServer We wake one bleary Monday morning to find that some numpty has killed the application server and the users are baying for blood. Well surprisingly SharePoint handles this disaster recovery scenario particularly well. Well. Better than I thought it would to be honest. Rough steps: - quick SQL backup to be safe - Rebuild your application server - reinstall pre-reqs - reinstall SP, PS, SPFSP1, SPS+PSSP1, Cumulative Update and other stuff you usually put on there. - Run your configuration wizard to reattach to the Farm, and select Host CA Site The last step was what I was VERY wary of. Would the server simply reattach to the Farm, even when there is no CA server available? Bingo your back.... almost.... you are going to get errors
