Severe issue with and inability to recover (using Tivoli Storage Manager
5.2.2) one of our DCs that just happened to hold the three domain FSMO
roles occurred yesterday. I've come to the conclusion that it is very,
very unlikely that I'll be able to recover the system state, inclusive of
AD system objects.
The dilemma is as follows:
I've seized the roles and 'technically' things appear to be okay. I need
to recover this DC as soon as possible. I purposely haven't deleted the DC
from the environment as I want to use the same name. I seem to remember
that there is or was some issue with deleted a defunct DC and then turning
right around and attempting to use the same name again, despite the use of
GUIDs in AD replication. I'm hoping this is something that no longer
applies or that I just misunderstood. But considering the potential impact
I wanted to ask first.
I'm about the crack open the whitepapers and also call MS to ask. Was
hoping this would be a quicker route.
TIA
