Dear All, I had to restore active directory, and the one which did not have any any other backup domain controller (This is also our mail server MS Exchange 2000).
What i did was that i installed OS and service packs .. and then simply went into restoring the server using backups ! 1-Restored drive C 2-Restored Drive D 3- Restored System objects When i restarted the system it didn't comeup instead it remained at the first white bar of windows loading against black back ground. I was pretty much confused as to what did i do wrong as i restored everything and it should have come back. Anyone any idea on this? I wanted to keep things simple but it sounds like it is not letting me to be simple .. ! Regards, Sandra
