rebuild? why? is there something not working?

how this works is you reinstall SBS using the SBS CD but you stop before you install SBS components. then you restore the entire system from the backup copy.

Errors on DNS, AD, etc

by dishneggo · 10 years ago In reply to rebuild? why? is there s ...

Thank you for the reply. Previous tech upgraded server
from 2000, since then all sorts of DNS errors, AD errors, I
have tried rebuilding DNS and AD but event log still red.
It is due for a fresh install.
So from what I understand, just install the OS itself, don't
continue with remaining setup, then install Backup Exec
then restore from tape, correct?
Couldn't I just do a complete install is SBS then after all
components are loaded do a restore?

Thanks for all the input.

well first think about what back up does

then think about reinstalling everything... then restoring....what are you restoring? really everything so why install it when you will just overwrite it....

what you might want to do is try a repair first using the SBS disc and reinstalling all componets. this is not the same as doing a repair when booting to a CD. you can reinstall the componets in SBS from the CD choosing SBS setup.

The other thing to remember is that when you reboot the server, there will be errors in the event logs because different services start at different times during the boot process. Some services are dependent upon others being started. Event logs will be generated which can be ignored IF you get to the desktop and can log in.
