Zlatko,
 how is it:
        4)ignore restart message
        ..
        6).. You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5

In order to be in AD recovery in step 5 I have to restart.
But a restart after (4) will probably not work because 
of mismatch between system objects left from (1) installation 
and files having been restored(3) 

What am I missing?

Juraj

Christian,

I am under impression that your posts become more and more misleading over 
time! Is this because I read them selectively or for any other reason - 
don't know. I would be rather happy to be proved wrong!!!
Also advertizement within any advice is against the principles of the 
community on this forum. Please perform your marketing activities 
privately or using a different media!!!!


Back to the topic - the problem Jacques is experiencing:
The standard Win2k recovery procedure is:
1. Install clean Windows - I install it on the *same* path and it works 
fine
2. Install TSM client - personally I prefer instead of configuring it to 
restore dsm.opt and restart the client
3. Restore *all program files* - if some application is installed on a 
drive other than C:, its binaries is better to be restores right now
4. Ignore restart message
5. Restore System State (System Object in TSM terms) and reboot.
6. (only for the only/first domain controller in DR) Make the restored AD 
data "authoritative". You will need to be in AD recovery mode in step 5.

The trick is to avoid joining to the domain at step 1!!!! Keep the system 
as being part of some imaginary workgroup (better with a name which is not 
known to the domain controller/master NetBIOS browser).
In step 5 all information regarding membership to the domain will be 
restored and after reboot the server will be part of the domain. Think of 
sequence failure-reinstall-restore-reboot as of an ordinary 
shutdown-reboot with longer downtime!

When you installed Windows on the machine.
Did you installed Windows in a Temp directory and then restore all data
from TSM?
Or did you installed Windows in there standard path and overwrite each 
file
with TSM?

If you did the last thing. I can understand way you got that problem. That
is becuse you got a new SID and et c.
Try to install Windows in a Temp Path and restore the data from TSM to
there normal PATH. Reboot the server and boot up in Restore Directory
Service mode and restore the System Object. Reboot the server again and
remove the temp Windows installation.

Now should it work fine.
To do this much easyer. Buy a Disaster Recovery tool. Talk to IBM and they
should give you some advice. Or can you download your own eval. copy from

Hi Everyone.

I've restore the system volume (c:) and all system objects
(of which I have a consistent backup of) successfully.  I
can access Active Directory and see all resources.  I can
even see all the resources from another machine through a
UNC path.  It even prompts me for a username and and
password.  I type the domain name\username and the password
and I can see all printers, etc.

I however cannot log onto or join the domain.

Did anyone else get this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
