Active Directory Backup & Restore issue
Hi, I have taken backup of my operational Active Directory server and tried to restore it to different machine. My server is up and able to access Active Directory users and computer console....
You are missing the RID master (I guess you had more DCs in your original network but took the backup from a server which didn't have that role).
See here for how to assign your restored DC the missing roles (or search for "seize FSMO roles"):
