Restoring Active Directory

There are two ways to restore Active Directory. You can reinstall Windows 2000, and then let normal replication repopulate Active Directory through the normal replication process, or you can restore Active Directory from a backup. The first method restores Active Directory to the current state with respect to its current replica partners. The second method restores Active Directory to a previously known state (whatever it was when you last backed up).
