Can a domain controllers system state be restored if the operating system has been reinstalled?
설명
Windows has been reinstalled on a domain controller (same hardware), can a backup be used to restore the system state in the event of a forest recovery?
해결 방안
This is currently not supported. Microsoft does not recommend restoring system state to a server if the OS has been reinstalled. The reason is, the registry will be restored as well and this can have unexpected consequences if the OS has been reinstalled, even if it is the same version. Enhancement ID RMADFE-829 has been submitted to be able to install AD on the DC using the "install from media" option which would allow the DC to be restored during a forest recovery without having to do a full system state recovery. This enhancement is being reviewed for a future release of the product.
