It's on the same box and it's running. I do have multiple DCs in my domain and I am only restoring this one. I assume this is the problem?

Here is what I have done: 1. Install Windows 2000 2. Install latest Service Pack 5. Restore C, D and system state while in "Normal" mode. Deselect boot.ini, ntldr and ntdetect.com before restoring. 6. BEFORE YOU REBOOT, DO THE FOLLOWING: * Remove any NIC drivers * Remove any Video drivers 7. Reboot into Directory Services Repair Mode 8. Log in as the Directory Service Repair userid 9. At a command prompt, type "NTDSUTIL" and then press ENTER. 10. Type "AUTHORITATIVE RESTORE" and then press ENTER. 11. Type "RESTORE DATABASE", press ENTER, click OK, and then click Yes. 12. Reboot and confirm the restore was successful. When I boot, I cannot access the DNS for my local zone. I have 4 zones, domain.net, domain1.net etc. I can nslookup all the other domains but not the domain.net which is the "main" AD domain (when I look at system properties, I do see the domain as domain.net) Any thoughts on what I did wrong? This is different hardware, I did not install DNS prior and I did not create the AD infrastructure prior to reinstalling. Kind Regards, Jennifer Fountain 3400 E.
