Havent tried that yet, will it restore the system state? or put the server back to its original state prior to active directory and Nat settings.

If you have messed up the server where it won't boot normally, last know good configuration will do just that. It should boot to the servers last known GOOD configuration, not to it's original state. Since I don't know what caused the problem, I can't give exact details. Check out...
