Restore Active Directory on another computer !!!

[GdRoser]

 I have just installed Backup Exec 2010 R3.

 Now, I have one domain controller on PC1.

 PC2 is difference hardware with PC1.

 So I want to restore Active Directory from PC1 to PC2 by Backup Exec 2010.

 Can you show me the guildline step-by-step to do this?

 I tried to backup drive C, system state and Shadown Copy Components from PC1, and restore them on PC2, but not sucess...

 Please help me !!!

what versions of windows server are you running?

Is PC2 a test server that you are testing a recovery of PC1?

Or are you trying to move the AD from PC1 to PC2 permanently?

[GdRoser]

I used Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2 on both of servers.

In face, maybe your DC suddenly die. You have to restore on another system.

So I want to know how can I do it?

How and What I have to backup from PC1?

How I can restore to PC 2 from PC1's backup ???

Hope you are restoring the backup sets to identical OS.

Yes, identical OS. But OS in PC2 is new without anything: No domain, no DC, no name like same PC1.... Only Windows Server 2008 SP2

If it is even working, you should rename PC2 to PC1 and try to restore the system state.

BTW: Microsoft advices to install at least two domaincontrollers in your domain !

If PC2 a permanent server It would proabably be better to have PC2  configured as a "secondary" domain controller. Rather than try to restore the AD to PC2.
