Using the System State backup to restore Active Directory

If the last System State backup of the Windows Server client is more recent than the last Active Directory backup, then you may want to use the System State backup for the BMR.

Steps

  1. Perform the steps in BMR of Windows clients to perform the BMR.
    After you exit the Avamar Bare Metal Recovery Wizard, the WinPE command prompt appears.
  2. Perform the steps in Booting the client into Directory Services Restore Mode to boot into DSRM.
  3. Open a command prompt window and use the ntdsutil utility to mark objects for an authoritative restore. Restoring Active Directory provides instructions.
  4. If you used Windows System Configuration to configure the system to boot into DSRM, use Windows System Configuration again to configure the system to return to normal booting.
  5. Restart the client.
