Disater recovery plan for Active Directory

-

hi all,

i know there many topics out there still want make clear me.

i found article here : http://msmvps.com/blogs/acefekay/archive/2010/10/05/complete-step-by-step-to-remove-an-orphaned-domain-controller.aspx . scenario:

i have 3 domain controllers in environment : 1 primary dc @ heard office (holds 5 fsmo roles), 1 additional dc @ branch1 office (can write/edit active directory data), 1 read-only dc @ branch2 office.
pdc  <==== replicate ====>  adc
read-only dc @ branch2 office replicated pdc

if dc @ branch1 or branch2 office dead , have restore them new hardware, should ?

- remove meta data of crashed dc in active directory, go through dns delete references crashed dc ...

- install windows server on new hardware, name , ip address same crashed ad, join domain, dcpromo upgrade dc.

- active directory data replicated 2 other dcs new 1 ?

if have system state backup of crashed ad, there way ?

greetings!

>> if dc @ branch1 or branch2 office dead , have restore them new hardware, should ?

you answered question. if server dead , have primary domain controller online holds fsmo roles, not waist time restoring backup. simple complete metadata cleanup , re installing operating system job. restoring backup solution prefer clean environment using metadata cleanup , install fresh , clean domain controller.

regards.
