Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a windows 2003 dc that has been restored using Symantec backup system recovery 2010 all ok but when I go into Active directory I get the following<br />
<br />
Cannot add user - The directory service was unable to allocate a relative identifier<br />
<br />
I think I had this a while back but need a fix for this ?<br />
<br />
any ideas appreciated <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Restored Server with Errors

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

Disaster Recovery

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
