Restoring AD Using outdated backup

hi

can anybody help me with restoring last active directory server (BDC-2012) from a 6 month old system recovery image.

PDC & BDC failed and no recent backup is available . last backup is a very old SSR 2013 full backup of BDC . BDC was a 2012 VM on ESXi 5.5 1.

when i restore that backp BDC server boots up and right before login page i get a blue screen that says "directory service cannot start... " and server resets, however i have access to DSRM mode and i think there is a problem with age of backup that im restoring .

do anybody know how can i start Directory service? or resove this problem?

 

thanks

    AD was needed for another server to work , i restored that server then backed up databases that i need  and build the servers from ground up.
