Hello,
I've had to 'move' an installation from one hardware platform to another.
I'd like to restore the original domain structure (AD) etc onto the new
installation.

Original Enviroment:
Windows 2003 SMS with Exchange (SP1 Installed), AD, DNS installed.
The only other application is Pervasive SQL

Here's I am thinking to complete this:
Install Win2K3 SBS; Install AD (same domain name as original); Install DNS
Exchange and Service Pack.
Perform a System State restore using a backup from the original installation.

I'm hoping this will configure the AD with all the original user's/computer
accounts etc.

Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,
EK.
