In a nutshell
1. Load OS and client on the target, partition if necessary
2. Reboot, F8 on the reboot
3. Pick Directory Services Restore Mode
4. Restore ( I prefer using the master)
5. Reboot, you have your DC, it will automagically resync with any other
DC's if in place.
Note: If this is a true DR situation try to restore the DC that was
acting as the PDC first.
We have done this many times with versions 3.4 to 6mp3, the only problem
child being 5.1mp3 which had a problem with w2k3 dc restores. We always
test DC restores in the lab before deploying a new MP, let alone a new
version.
