Hi Curt,
There is no backup of systemstate since the DC is being reinstalled
accidently. However, we still have the DB. As i know, on DC there would be
info regarding the domain admin who installed the CRM and also OU along with
security roles etc. If those info are missing, eventhough i still have my DB,
could i still use the old DB and reimplemented in new DC??
Thx,
Carrie
