Restoring Windows 2000 Server from Ghost Image

G

Geoff

We have a failed Windows 2000 server that was running as a
DNS server, we are restoring from a ghost image backup. On
reboot, We get the message "Directory Services could not
start because of the following error: The system cannot
find the file specified. Error Status: 0xc000000f. Please
click OK to shutdown the system and reboot into the
Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for
more detailed information"

After starting in Directory Services Restore Mode, the
system reverts to safe mode, and says the services are
repaired, but the Administrator password is not the one
that was configured on the domain.

Does anyone know how to update the DNS database on this
machine so that the DNS entries (accounts and passwords)
are valid again? We have another DNS server still running
in the same dmain which should have an identical
database...

Thanks alot
Geoff
