Domain: 2x Windows 2003 SP2 Domain controllers both global catalog servers.
DC1 had all 5 FSMO roles, and the hard drive containing SYSVOL and NETLOGON and everything AD related got dropped by the raid controller and formatted to RAW. DC2 stayed operational. I reloaded DC1 with a ghost image that is several years old, but has DC1 in the domain and with all 5 FSMO roles, first boot of the system was into DSRM, where I set burflags for a non-authoritative restore. It didn't seem to work. But may have done something over the weekend, as I haven't been able to check back on it yet after I restarted FRS on DC2.
Would it make more sense to seize the FSMO roles to DC2 and then do a non-authoritative restore of DC1? The ghost image is the only way I have of installing an operating system on the server by the way.
