Active Directory Not Available After Restoring Full backup -Urgent

[Conman]

I have a W2K server which I had to rebuild from backups (Using Arcserve 2K) I recreated partitions as they were, reinstalled W2K and Arcserve, restored Data hten I reatored C: and system state in "Active Directory Restore Mode" when I boot up a number of services do not start (All to do with IIS) I also get a pop up saying Active Directory cannot be contacted do I want to use Dial up. I also get the same pop up when I use active directory for users and computers if I say no to dial up I do see a list of all users! Any ideas.

try restoring the system state first and then reboot the system, confirm that you have proper replication between the servers and the network then restore the data..
all the best
