The first restore goes along and doesn't really complete (no log file pops up and no warning - ntbackup simply stops and exits somewhere in the AD portion of the restore). You reboot the server and you login with local admin credentials instead getting a choice to use AD. This second login can take a while because it has to fail on a bunch of partially restored stuff. If you simply run the full restore again after reboot then that works and the DC comes up just fine. This occurs with the target server set to AD Disaster Recovery safe mode or just booted normally. -Stuart Fuller -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chandra Burra Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 12:51 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] DC - rebuld issues Importance: High Hi, I have a typical issue with re-building a DC. I am currently in the stage of re-creating a AD domain for DR documentation. Have installed W2k server --> trying to restore for a backup tape from the live system ( whole C drive and the System state) --> make registry changes for RPC and NTFRS Issue here is that after completely restoring and re-starting --> prompted with the login of the local system and not the domain ...mostly if i login with the local admin - nothing comes up....explorer.exe does not start up. Any ideas and suggetions please.
