I am very new to TSM, so please excuse these simple questions. I am testing a full restore of a Windows 2000 Domain Controller by reinstalling the OS and then performing a full restore. I am following the instructions in the IBM Redbook "Deploying the Tivoli Storage Manager Client in a Windows 2000 Environment" for the TSM 4.1.2 client". I am trying to follow the instructions in section 6.2.4, Restoring a Win 2000 domain controller (non-authoritative). We have our AD database, logs and Sysvol on drive F, G and H. The problem is that the procedure summary list does not match the actual procedure. In addition, the actual procedure gives no information about restoring the System Object. What is the proper proocedure for this? There is a chart in section 6.2.4.2, Summary of domain controller restore, that shows the procedure order as follows after installing and patching the OS: 5- Restore files on system/boot partition (c drive) 6- Restore the entire System Object 7- Reboot 8- Restore data on other drives 9- Reboot 10- Check System In section 6.2.4.6, Recovery Procedure, the following info is listed that does not match the above and more importantly never mentions restorig the system object: 10- Restore the boot/system partition - Do not reboot 11- Restore any other data onto other drives (D, E, etc.) 12- Reboot 13- Confirm the restore Thanks, Tony ============================= Tony Weil ITCS LAN/NOS Groupware University of Michigan Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 734-615-5277 Support:[EMAIL PROTECTED] =============================
