After a restore of a Windows 2000 server, we found out that the Documents and Settings folder had not been backed up. None of the administrator profiles or &quot;all users&quot; folders could be restored. However, on first boot of the server these items were created with default shortcuts.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to create or locate shortcuts (other than creating various MMC Snap-ins), for Active Directory, Domain Controller Policy, etc., that are normally created when upgrading the controller? The server has already been restored via tape to DC status but lacks the shortcuts typical of a DC.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
