WinRE Server 2008 Domain Controller recovery
From what I understand, the Windows Recovery Enviorment (WinRE) requires a local user account (preferable the administrator account) when being configured for recovery purposes.
My question: How am I suppose to configure WinRE on a Domain Controller (which doesn't have local users accounts)?
Thanks

Hi Darth,
WinRe tool is not supported for Domain Controller recovery. Instead of it, you can use Ntbackup Utility for restoring backups made on Windows 2008 Domain controller.
