What you are doing wrong is restoring all the DCs in the forest from System State.
What you need to do to recover a Forest is restore one DC in each Domain in the forest from System state and metadata clean all references to other DC objects from the DC.
You do this for each of your domains and reset the trusts between the single DCs in each Domain.
Other DCs are re-introduced to the forest by DCpromoing them back as DCs (after you must have rebuilt them and rejoined them to the Domain)
As you can imagine, this can get very messy and painful really quickly and easily.
make sure you get your Forest Recovery well nailed before you attempt the Domain rename.
This doc will be of immense help to you. Follow it and make sure you adapt it to your environment: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AFE436FA-8E8A-443A-9027-C522DEE35D85&displaylang=en

I've been testing a domain rename in a lab environment which has been
successful (3 Domains - 1 Root and 2 Child domains in the same Forrest
with Exchange)
In our live environment we have 2 Root DC's in a empty root domain, a
child domain that has 12 DC's a few in different sites with 7 Exchange
2003 SP2 servers, and another child domain off the root domain that
has 27 DC's. The domain with 12 DC's and 7 Exchange servers is to be
renamed.
Even though my testing has been successful in the lab environment, it
is not possible to mimic our live environment 100%. I've been trying
to test a recovery if I need to rollback in case of problems with the
domain rename.
I created System backups of all DC's in all Domains in the test LAB,
did a domain rename which was successful. Now trying to fall back to
my domain before the domain rename fails. These are the steps I
followed I think I'm doing this wrong..
I assume I have to restore every DC in the entire forest...
I did an authoritative AD system restore on the primary Root DC, a
normal AD Restore on the 2nd Root DC
I then did another authoritative AD system restore on the 1st DC of
the child domain, and normal AD restores on the remainder DC's in that
domain. I did the same in the other child domain. After this the dc's
boot up I can open ADUC but workstations/users are not able to login,
tons of errors in event viewer KCC etc. Do any of you know what the
correct process is? Is it possible to rollback after doing a domain
rename?
Any help would help.
Thanks
Trevor
