restore system state on a computer with different hardware..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi
On my understanding that restoring a system state also restores active
directory users and that the two cannot be separated.

I have here in my office a HP server. I want to on a daily basis
restore a tape from another HP server from another site with different
hardware as a disaster recovery plan. If the main domain controller
goes down I can just replace it with the backup server. How should I
set this up? as at the moment when I restore the system state from the
live server I get lots of problems

Regards
