For simplicity sake, I call the source domain controller SERVER1
and the new server that will become a domain controller SERVER2.
NOTE You need to add the Windows Server Backup feature on both servers prior to continuing with
this exercise. SERVER2 must already be a member server of the domain, and you may need to allow
File Sharing to go through the Windows Firewall or disable the firewall completely so that the backups
from SERVER1 can be copied over to SERVER2.
1. Log on to SERVER1.
2. Run Server Manager, expand the Storage node, and select Windows Server
Backup.
3. Right-click Windows Server Backup and select Backup Once.
4. Click Next on the Backup Options screen.
5. Select Custom from the Select Items menu and click Next.
6. Select the volume (drive letter) that contains the ntds.dit file and click Next.
7. On the Specify Location Type screen, select Remote Shared Folder and click
Next.
8. Type in the UNC path to the share on SERVER2 where you want to store the
backup (that is, \\SERVER2\e$\backup). Select Inherit from the Access
Control options and click Next.
9. Review the summary page, and then click Backup.
10. Wait for the backup to complete.
11. Log onto SERVER2.
12. Open a command prompt.
13. Run the following:
wbadmin get versions -BackupTarget:\\SERVER2\e$\backup
14. Take note of the Version Identifier; it will be a date and time in the format MM/
DD/YYY-HH:MM??”for example, 12/10/2007-01:30.
