Problem restoring Active directory using server 2003

T

TheLANlord

Hello all,
I am restoring Active Directory on a 2003 server. I would activate the
server CD key before running dcpromo just to make sure the servers
license is clear. Once I install active directory, restore it from the
BAK file, and reboot the server. I get an error upon login stating
that windows must be activated in order to log in. The original bak
has been activated for over 6 months. I have reinstalled server 2003
serveral times and even ran this on a trial version but I get the same
error message. This restore is only for test purposes therefore I
cannot put this on my public network. Any ideas?
