Recovery after a server crash - System State
I backed up my system state using NTBackup for Windows server 2003.
Lets pretend the server crashes and I need to rebuild a new server. How would I recover
Active Directory and all the users, domains, DNS, DHCP?
Is that included in the system state backup in Windows?
Also how could I put the printers back on the server without affecting the clients?
One more thing, how often do I need to backup the system state? Does it really change if I don't do anything to the server?

So I can have two servers acting as Active Directory fashion by enabling the GC in a second controller?

Basically, when the main server goes down, I want the second server to seamlessly take over. How can I do that?
I just installed another 2003Server and will add it as an additional domain controller.
What other things need to be done?
