I did backup all system state, etc. After reinstalling my OS, i ran a restore and it failed. I need to know how to restore Active directory from a backup after re-installing my server os. Thank you.

I need to have backed up all the DNS entries in Windows Server 2003 in a way to have a quick restore option. Which is the best alternative / way?

This is a video on how to backup and restore a GPO (group policy object) on a server 2008 domain controller. As far as I know, these are mostly new features on Server 2008. You can restore the GPO by importing settings or if you modify it, you can return it to an earlier time. You can also save a report about the GPO that will show all its setting and affected organizational units (OU). These features require active directory be installed on the machine.
