The user account performing the backup needs to have "Restore Files and Directories" rights to be able to perform a backup of the system state. I know that it's small in the scheme of things, but anytime MS wants to fix that I'd be happy. In other words, just granting the "Back up Files and Directories" rights should be all that is required to, oh let's see, back up files and directories, including System State.

As the dev guys put it, this is a tough one. It wouldn't just be a nobrainer if they had separate instances of AD, there are just tons of other things involved that make it extremely difficult. It was something that was brought up in the summit though, not sure how much I can say around it other than no, it won't be there. MS feels the focus of this is dramatically reduced now as well due to the fact that VS is available and can run DCs. Also the Server Core DCs helps here as well as the DCs will have a smaller footprint. If folks are NOT in agreement with that assessment, definitely speak up, it is too late for Longhorn but possibly the opportunity exists to convince them for BlackComb. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Kaiser Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 9:37 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list I'd also like to see the ability to run DCs for multiple domains on the same server. SMBs with limited resources balk at having to buy additional server hardware for redundancy on multiple domains, especially when the AD load on the DCs is minimal. This feature sounds like an offshoot of your list below. If you can run AD as a service, it might not be that hard to allow multiple domains similar to multiple websites/DBs on one server... I remember discussing this with Stuart Kwan at DEC a couple of years ago. I hope it makes it into the mix... ********************** Charlie Kaiser W2K3 MCSA/MCSE/Security, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe > Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 4:25 PM > To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list > > Vista is the client OS.
