[SOLVED] Active Directory issue -urgent-

md_ahmad777 · 05-08-2008, 11:24 PM

Dear all I am having one problem related to active directory
I am having 300 Pc in my network and only one active directory server is there due to some problem I have formatted the server and installed active directory with the same domain name , now I am receiving many security related massage on system event , due to in correct SID of network computer(Directory Object) added on active directory manually , my question is that if the next time it will happen than I must take the backup of all object or computer objects SID , how we can take the backup of this ?
Its very time consuming process to rejoin the entire computers in domain after reinstalling AD.

Thanks In advance

Do you back yp your AD server? If you have a backup you can restore from you need to do what is called an AUTHORITATIVE RESTORE.

You can. If you do an authoritative restore it will restore your server back you whenever you want. You are only limited to the amount of backups you have. Read this ARTICLE on how to preform an authoritative restore.
