Here's a follow up question. What's the best way to "recover" active directory? For some reason, my veritas backup of the system state caused a blue screen last time I tested it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Hi Sergio,
You can use whatever tool that's Windows 2000/2003 compliant to backup Active Directory. Windows 2000/2003 itself has NTBACKUP that gives you the possibility to backup to TAPE or FILE.
To backup Active Directory you must at a minimum backup the SYSTEM STATE (I always also backup the system drive -> drive with the WINDOWS dir).
See also the following resources for more info on this:

Hello,
Could i do a backup of the Active Directory? How?
We have a tape library backup and ARCServer Software Backup... but it's not necessary to use this library.
Thanks
