Re: Server 2003 - Best Software To Make Drive Image?

Please start reading about USN rollback and imaging of DC's this is not
support afik. AD restore mode and playing with the registry setting forcing
an authoritive restore from the DC you restired from the image can fix this
but I havn't got the details at hand, but rememer this is not supported.

Just read this post. Since my boss is also looking at software like this
how
do these work with Win2003 servers that are the Domain controllers housing
the Active Directory structure. Once the server is rebuilt do we have to
restore AD structure back onto server. I'm thinking of worse case senario
when a server completely dies.
thanks

I am supporting someone who just installed Sever 2003 and is running a
custom program that took quite a number of hours at a high billing rate
to
'tweak' so the user wants an image done of the server's boot drive.

I looked at Norton Ghost and it does not support Server 2003.

We want to make an image file that will store on DVD DL

Can anyone recommend a program that you have made image files and
restored
them on Server 2003?

TIA
