Hi All

Ok, so I have a customer wanting to restore AD in a W2003 32-bit environment, running TSM 5.2. He is using the "frsprimaryrestore" option to force promotion of the DC.

When he boots the restored system, it spends up to an hour trying to contact the other DC's in the domain, and doe *not* come up with the FISMO (?) roles as desired.

I'm no AD expert - I've trawled IBM's support pages for references to "frsprimaryrestore" and hit on a step-by-step restore guide; this is most likely the document being followed by my customer. There were no hits that suggested a code update is required.

I will continue to dig, but I thought I'd float the question in here just in case anyone has had a similar experience.

Your time is very much appreciated.

Regards

Matthew
