Restore AD 2016 Backup after damage of DC
Hello Everybody, I have a question regarding the availibility of AD, is it possible to restore a backup to another server and what are the steps to build to new DC including all things DNS config...
Hi RMAZOUZI,
The preferred method is not to use backups to restore AD unless none of your DCs are functional.
Add a new DC to your domain, add roles, seize the FSMO roles and do a cleanup.
Restoring a domain controller from backup should only be a last resort.
