Possible Additional Tasks Required after Restore on Windows

On Windows systems, in some cases, after the actual restore process is finished, some additional tasks maybe required. For example, if the recovered system does not boot, the restored VM may need to be repaired using the repair options of the original Windows installation media. Also, for Active Directory servers, it may be necessary to follow Microsoft’s guidelines to get a consistent state of the AD databases and synchronize with other AD servers. If your setup includes dynamic disks, you must import them in the freshly restored system after the reboot. You can do that from the disk manager or using “diskpart” by selecting one of the dynamic disk and using the “import” command.

select disk <XX>
import
