To all single DC folks - when you perform a restore of your single DC
from an image, as part of your procedure do you increase the value of
the RID pool or just restore and resume working?

And you didn't go to Jeff Middleton's TechEd session on DR for Small
business did you?
We're a single DC folks.. hello... it works.
We're not enterprise and that means best practices for you are not best
practices for us.
Acronis works.
Big boys can't image DCs.. we can. We're little..we're agile and we can
do it.
Big server land can't ...and that's fine...but the rules of big server
land stop at the gates of SBSland... it's a whole diff ball game for us.
(Fenway was cool btw)
