Restore it as you would any other
DC. The documentation that you refer to is either out of date, or
incorrect. The DS will invalidate the current RID pool when you restore
and request a new one from the RID master (itself) which should be the same
value as it was when it went down (if the backup is from the night before or
very recent, unless you've been doing lots of security principal
creations). If it isn't, the new value will be replicated in (the value is
held by all DCs -I don't think the RID master does anything different when
replicating) as far as I'm aware.
The issues with the RID master arise if
you have multiple RID masters. Which, with k3 shouldn't really be possible
if network and replication are OK.
There were a bunch of changes made in SP1,
SP2 and SP3 for the RID master and the way a DC handles its current RID pool,
etc. As far as I'm aware, all of these issues are in the past and Win2k
SP4/ Wink3 don't have any problems.

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Restoring
RID
How do I move the RID role
when that server is already crashed? I want to recover from the loss of the
RID master, so I canot move it since it is not available. Or there is a way to
do it?

I
always recommend transferring FSMO roles from a box before upgrading it, then
moving it back after the upgrade is completed successfully.
If you've
got enough DCs to justify splitting FSMO roles, you've got enough to move it
to another box for a week to upgrade the box.

When the RID flexible single-master operations
DC is restored, it may use old RID pool values, and it can cause the restored
RID flexible single-master operations DC to begin issuing duplicate
SIDs.
The best way
is:
- to use another DC
to seize the RID master role.
- Rebuild the OS on
crashed DC and promote it back as Domain Controller
-
transfer the RID master role back to the rebuild DC.

Colleagues,
We have a server which crashed
during upgrade (2000 to 2003). Now we want to restore it.
Problem is
this server is the RID holder and the documentation on the technet says
"Restoring the RID Master can result
in Active Directory data corruption, so it is not recommended." So
what is the best way to restore this server?
Thank you in
advance for your assistance
Regards,
