In the restore gui,  you can select different parts of the System state =
for restoration.  One of these parts is named Active Directory.  Whether =
or not it would function after the restore is a different question......
=20
AD consists of:
ntds.dit
edb.chk
edb*.log
res1.log and res2.log
=20
But when I look on one of my AD servers,  not all these files are listed =
under the Active Directory branch of the system state backup.
In addition,  my guess is that you would have to restore at least some =
parts of the registry, (kerberos?), KMS and DNS services in order for AD =
to function.  In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think you =
would need to restore the entire system state (or most of it) to get it =
to function.
=20
I would really be interested in hearing from someone more knowledgeable =
on this topic. =20
