    a colleague of mine suggested to create the file USE_BACKUP_MEDIA_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE in <NBU_ome>\db\config and this worked !!!

    I haven't figured out why, but it is really working , the restore ran successfully and browsing is working everytime !

Really strange ... I had nothing in master server properties/client attributes ...

I just added master and AD server in client list and forced BPCD connect back to "VNETD port" and Daemon connection port to "VNETD Only"

So now the bptestbpcd looks better :

1 1 1
10.224.48.9:52447 -> 10.224.48.9:1556
10.224.48.9:52448 -> 10.224.48.9:1556
10.224.48.9:52451 -> 10.224.48.9:1556

But BAR browsing of active directory is still providing the same error and the bprd log is the same :
