I've performed the initial installation of Windows 2000 to
the original directory.  I.e. I'm restoring the original
Windows 2000 over my initial installation.

I'm trying to convince the customer to purchase CBMR.  He
however want't to see ITSM work natively before he decides
to purchase more hardware/software for it.  If I can prove
this works he will look at options to optimize his DR
strategy.

The specific error message I get on Win98 is "No domain
server could be found to validate your password" (may not
be specifically that but everyone knows the message).  On
Windows 2000 I get a DNS related error although DNS seems
to be working fine.

I will try the following;
1. Install W2K into a temp directory
2. Restores OS files (to original directory)
3. Reboot into AD restore mode
4. Restore system objects

One other thing I should mention is that I'm restoring a
W2K server (FSMO mater) that forms part of a 3 way
replication partnership.  Will this cause trouble?
