Creating Program??? I have taken backup using TSM and I am using it restore AD. 
When I go to restore, under active directory, the creation date is 01/01/1601 
and the backup date is fine., that is the one when it is backed up. all the 
active and inactive versions show this date.

Can you kindly enlighten me on how can I rectify this??

Kind Regards
Sandra
