Yes, I have the system-state.

You could after installing the SBS use the directory recovery console and restore the system state to recover your AD configuration where as long as the systemstate is fairly recent you would not need to go through the rejoin/join process.<br />

Had to disjoin and join domain, the system-state backup (by NT backup) didn't worked properly.

I have a dell T300 which had a SBS2003 installed. Because of disk failures I lost all data and config. So i need to reinstall.<br />
<br />
This setup has just this server and 10 PCs, all of them members of the domain. <br />
My question is if possible to avoid to keep the current pc config without having to rejoin the new domain?<br />
<br />
In the past I have to disjoin and rejoin the new domain after the server (PDC) is ready?
