In restoring a DC the steps are very straight foward but slightly
different from a DR restore of a member server
=20
1. Load the correct version of windows (standard, enterprise, whatever)
and make it a member of a workgroup with the same name as the domain
2. Create the disk layout (C, D, E, etc of appropriate sizes)
3. Load NBU agent
4. Reboot the server and on reboot F8 the system and choose the DOMAIN
CONTROLLER RESTORE MODE
5. Restore the entire system EXCEPT boot.ini
6. After the restore reboot, the system will come up and resync with the
other DC's (if any). Resync can take up to 45 minutes depending on your
network.

        Hi,=20
=09
        I'm doing to DR testing. I have a unix master and i'd like to
restore the BMR boot/win2k domain controller.=20
=09
        In past versions of windows, I have installed windows to
c:\winnt.dr and then restored the server and set the boot.ini to boot
from c:\winnt=20
=09
        With win2k, i can restore the system state, so if i want to
restore my domain controller, can i install windows to winnt and then
restore the c: and system state to get the server back?=20
