Active Direcotry backup & restore

[Guest Steve P]

I have a sick Windows 2003 server which needs reinstalling.

Does anyone know a easy & good way to backup Acive Directory, so I can

resote all the settings once I format & reinstall the server?

 

Thank You

hello,

 

what do you mean by sick ?

If the sick come from AD, you will travel it to the furture server..

 

You can backup the AD using ntbackup.

You can always replicate AD move all the roles to a different DC and

reinstall the old server.

It just keeps locking up & needs to be rebooted.

 

Sometimes it won;t start on the 1st reboot and needs several goes, or power

removed then plugged in again & rebooted to start up properly.

You should understand the real problem and correct it.

Watch the eventlog, it's a great source of information.

 

You can have explanation on errors in the eventlog with eventid:

http://www.eventid.net

 

Just give it the event number and you will read many comments on them (often

how to solve it)

 

And one good advice: stop rebooting, start understanding ;)
