Explanation

To perform a non-authoritative restore, you must first stop the AD DS service or restart the domain controller in Directory Services Restore Mode. Because the entire volume needs restored, only Directory Services Restore Mode (built on top of Safe Mode) will work. Because we are in DSRM, only command-prompt is available to us. This prevents us from being able to use Windows Server Backup to perform the restore.Safe Mode does not allow or provide options for restoring critical data and system state.
