Understand the process, and have no issues with this, but if the originator is looking for official TechNotes, are they going to obtain any?

Load OS and client on the target, partition if necessary 2. Reboot, F8 on the reboot 3. Pick Directory Services Restore Mode 4. Restore ( I prefer using the master) 5. Reboot, you have your DC, it will automagically resync with any other DC's if in place. Note: If this is a true DR situation try to restore the DC that was acting as the PDC first. We have done this many times with versions 3.4 to 6mp3, the only problem child being 5.1mp3 which had a problem with w2k3 dc restores. We always test DC restores in the lab before deploying a new MP, let alone a new version.
