My Server with Exchange 2013 was recently crashed while Exchange 2013 data was in migration process, but unfortunately in new server with exchange 2013 users half data migration is completed and other user data is stuck in old server which was crashed.

I am trying to recover exchange server so data migration can be completed on new server.

But unfortunately the machine which was crashed is giving below mention issue while installation of Exchange server 2013.

Please guide how to resolve this.

Your quick response in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Sam
