I've a DC (no secondary in thie environment) with the raid controller failed. I've retored it temporary on a VM using the backup (ShadowProtect).
On the system partition I have 2 SQL Express DBs used by software installed only on clients. On a separate partition I have the users data.
Using the VM only DBs and users data are changed (no AD or software modifications).
To restore the original server I was thinking to do these steps:
- Replace the controller
- Boot the server
- Import the DBs from VM
- Synchronize the users data
I want to avoid to perform another recvoery from virtual to physical. Any suggestions on possible problems?
Thank you.
