RE: [ActiveDir] Restoring System State from a DC

yes, the DC is fully network capable, but it acts like standalone machine which you have to logon to with the "restore mode" password (basicallly you're logging onto the local SAM, which is disabled when it's booted as a DC).  As such you can also logon to a machine in resotre mode via Terminal Services...   Thus you can connect to any network share as long as you have a valid account that you can use to connect to it - either a domain account (if other DCs are available for authentication) or a local account on the target server.   /Guido From: Abbiss, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 4.

This is obviously a waste of time if I cant get to it if I need to do a restore at any time.   Many thanks
