Did you use the divergent and corrupt partners registry key on your DC's? You typically can't restore multiple DCs from backup, you need to restore just one.

i have restored a few windows guests to an isolated test environment including 2 domain controllers, a sql server and exchange. &nbsp;the restore went fine but the guests are all treating the connection as public instead of domain. &nbsp;i changed the category of the network connections in the registry and that worked for the 2 domain controllers (2008 R2) but it doesn't work for my 2012 R2 sql server. &nbsp;I changed the values to 2, the domain is configured in the dns suffix list, and tried changing NLA service to delayed start. &nbsp;it still insists it's on a public network and wont' talk to the domain controllers and causing wsus console (separate server) to not talk to sql saying it is an incorrect domain (uses sql authentication). &nbsp;can ping the domain controllers but refuses to be on a domain network.

Windows Server 2012

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
