How to Perform Authoritative DC Restore for Windows Server 2008

Video Tutorials, Windows Server
When a domain contains more than one domain controller, Active Directory replicates directory objects, such as users, groups, organizational units, and computers, to all the domain controllers in that domain.

An authoritative restore marks specific data as current and prevents the replication from overwriting that data. The authoritative data is then replicated throughout the domain. The process for performing an authoritative restore of AD is the same as a Non-authoritative restore except for one step.
