hello everyone
when i run wbadmin with the -authsysvol switch to do a system state restore of a 2008 domain controller once restarted netlogon and sysvol are not shared. dsa.msc wont start and everything is a bit of a mess. if i then go in and change the lastrestoreid in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore to another unique string and restart the server sysvol and netlogon are shared again and everything works normally. basically doesnt look like the authsysvol switch is working properly. does anyone have any ideas whats going on or what ive done wrong?
steps:
start dc in dsrepair mode
restore system state using wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -authsysvol version:"date" -backuptarget:"path"
reboot
point dns to server ip
try and launch dsa/ type domain name\sysvol
get interface not found etc
the keys from this article are in the registry http://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/restoring-the-sysvol-non-authoritatively-when-either-using-ntfrs-or-dfs-r-part-3/
i rename the restoreid to the string in the article reboot and everything is ok
thanks
