I have a number of remote W2K domain controllers at the far end of slowish wan links. I use NT Backup to backup the system state locally every night, compress the .bkf to a .zip file and copy the zip files onto my NAS during the small hours. If I had to rebuild a server, could I simply reinstall a basic W2K server, then restore the system state. Would SPs be maintained or would I have to apply the proper SP before doing the restore?
