recovery process?

[Guest anthonyx26]

What's the basic recovery method for the following scenario?

 

1) Windows Server 2003 Standard (runnign purely as the single network domain

controller)

2) A small 15-user network, single domain

3) Have a good "system state" backup available from ntbackup

4) Hard drive failed / server crash.

 

Recovery method???...

 

1) Replace failed hard drive

2) Reinstall Windows 2003 Standard fresh

3) Run restore of "system state" backup?

 

Any glaring gotchyas to be aware of?
