restore of Active Directory Win2008 domain controller
Posted: Wed May 30, 2012 5:45 am
hello team,
apologies for having a question not directly related to your products : is there any special requirement or recommendation for restoring win2003/win2008 DC in network where several other domain controllers exist ? Or can we just simply schedule backup image to be taken every night via R-Drive Image and if something goes wrong with the DC, just restore that image taken several hours back to server and boot it up - and let the Active Directory mechanism perform all necessary replications based on their relative numbers which increment everytime new change is introduced to database ?
Or would there be major failure, inconsistency or whatever related to the Active Directory ? If anybody can shred some light on this topic with real experience, I'd appreciate it very much.
Big thanks !
