Hi all,

how can I do a disaster recovery of a Windows 2000 AD controller to similar
hardware? I read the "Windows Admin guide" and the "Disaster Recovery
Guide", both are version 6.1.

Nevertheless restoring that server fails regularly. After doing a normal
recovery and rebooting, I have a server that freezes just before one normaly
sees that "starting Windows" splash screen. When doing a save set recover, I
just getting the old desktop icons back, that's all.

NW version is 6.1.3 on both server and client.

Conclusion: all our Windows 2000 backups are unusuable. This failed desaster
recovery was only a test, but if a server would fail right now... :-(
