Jon, check out this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;241594

It discusses the procedure to perform an authoritative restore.

I see.  So no backup software will state that they will perform an
authorative restore because it's up to us, after performing the restore,
to
execute the NTDSUTIL utility and do it Microsoft's way - the supported
way.

Thanks Bill!  Have a great weekend.

The difference between a non-authorative restore and an authorative
restore
is that after restoring the System Object you run the NTDSUTIL utility to
make the entire AD, or only a part of the tree authoritative. All this
does
in increase the replication ID for those objects by 10,000. When the
server
is then rebooted the objects with the higher ID will be replicated to the
domain.

ALL restores of AD are non-authorative. You make it authoritative by
running
the NTDSUTIL command supplied by Microsoft.

>From what I can tell, Tivoli says that we can do non-authoritative domain
controller restores only.  However, while they may not support it, what
does
anyone actually know about doing it?  I don't want to look at another
product just to backup my domain controllers while TSM works for
everything
else.  Thanks!
