Restoring a single OUHi Everyone,
Is it possible to restore a single OU with ntbackup without restoring the whole directory? Thanks, assuming you have multiple DCs....
do a non-auth. restore of the database in DSRM and right after the restore do a auth. restore of the OU in question using NTDSUTIL and the command restore subtree. That will auth. restore the OU and its contents. google for: authoritative restore ntdsutil subtree -- Show quoteHide quoteCheers, (HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU!) # Jorge de Almeida Pinto # MVP Windows Server - Directory Services BLOG --> http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/default.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties and confers no rights! * Always test before implementing! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <germanshorthairpoin***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1141440918.523567.237150@t39g2000cwt.googlegroups.com... > Hi Everyone, > > Is it possible to restore a single OU with ntbackup without restoring > the whole directory? > > Thanks, > Thanks for your help.

assuming the process below will restore an OU and all of the objects in it. Correct? Thanks again for your help. 1. Restart the domain controller. 2. When the Windows 2000 Startup menu is displayed, select Directory Services Restore Mode, and then press ENTER. 3. Restore the data from backup media for an authoritative restore. To do this, follow these steps: a. In Directory Services Restore mode, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup to start the Windows 2000 Server Backup utility. b. Click Restore Wizard, and then click Next. c. Select the appropriate backup location, and then make sure that at least the System disk and System State containers are selected. d. Click Advanced, and then make sure that you restore junction points. If you do not use the Advanced menu, the restore process will not be successful. e. In the Restore Files to list, click Original Location. f. Click OK, and then complete the restore process. A visual progress indicator is displayed. g. When you are prompted to restart the computer, do not restart. 4. At a command prompt, type ntdsutil, and then press ENTER. 5. Type authoritative restore, and then press ENTER. 6. Type the following command, and then press ENTER: restore subtree ou=OU_Name,dc=Domain_Name,dc=xxx Note In this command, OU_Name is the name of the organizational unit that you want to restore, Domain_Name is the domain name that the OU resides in, and xxx is the top-level domain name of the domain controller, such as "com," "org," or "net." 7. Type quit, press ENTER, type quit, and then press ENTER. 8. Type exit, and then press ENTER. 9. Restart the domain controller. which OS do you have? 2000?
If yes, if the OU contains users and those users are members of groups or the OU contains groups and those groups are members of other groups you might have some additional issues concerning group memberships. see: MS-KBQ840001 -- Show quoteHide quoteCheers, (HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU!) # Jorge de Almeida Pinto # MVP Windows Server - Directory Services BLOG --> http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/default.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties and confers no rights! * Always test before implementing! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <germanshorthairpoin***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1141595454.913025.34510@i39g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Thanks for your help.
