Best way to Backup and restore a Domain Controller with Active Directory
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here so any input would be very helpful to me.
Here's the scenario. I am trying to restore a Domain Controller with Active Directory. So far, I've tried doing a complete full backup on a backup-to-disk folder and then creating an IDR bootable CD. With the help from the forums, I've managed to solve the network card issue and was able to connect to the folder. I even managed to completely restore all of the files, but I do get the error that says unable to Load hive 0X2 etc. I reboot the machine and it says that my Ntoskrnl is corrupt or missing.
Second option, I tried was to build a general Windows 2003 Server and then install BE 11D and then tried to do a Directory restore and I also get an error stating that I cannot replace the current Hive configuration.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
