I've performed the initial installation of Windows 2000 to the original directory. I.e. I'm restoring the original Windows 2000 over my initial installation.
I'm trying to convince the customer to purchase CBMR. He however want't to see ITSM work natively before he decides to purchase more hardware/software for it. If I can prove this works he will look at options to optimize his DR strategy. The specific error message I get on Win98 is "No domain server could be found to validate your password" (may not be specifically that but everyone knows the message). On Windows 2000 I get a DNS related error although DNS seems to be working fine. I will try the following; 1. Install W2K into a temp directory 2. Restores OS files (to original directory) 3. Reboot into AD restore mode 4. Restore system objects One other thing I should mention is that I'm restoring a W2K server (FSMO mater) that forms part of a 3 way replication partnership. Will this cause trouble?
