Explanation

You can use the Ntdsutil.exetool to create installation media for additional domain controllers that you are creating in a domain. By using the Install from Media (IFM) option, you can minimize the replication of directory data over the network. This helps you install additional domain controllers in remote sites more efficiently. A system state backup would backup much more than the AD database and is not usable to install a new DC. djoin.exe /loadfile is used to help join a machine to the domain while it is offline or unavailable to The Get-ADDomainControllercmdlet will retrieve DC objects into the PowerShell pipeline for manipulation, such as retrieving or outputting properties or sending to other cmdlets. But at best this manipulates the computer object in AD, and is not helpful for provisioning a new DC.
