Thank you for your isnight, the way it is now is that I have one physical server for the DC and then I have another physical server that has a VM through Hyper-V as our backup DC. Which I believe is easy to backup/restore to if need be because I know how to export import the virtual machine o that it can function properly. I will definitely check out the solutions you've provided and thank you again.

Thank you for this insight I really do appreciate it. I do have two Domain Controllers one master, and one slave. As far as enterprise solutions, it doesn't have to be fully enterprise just so long as its capable of restarting a crap tun of data for the main DC and the back up. I will definitely check out Veeam and Nakiyo soltuions you've provided.

Hey guys, I'm trying to better understand how to properly back up a Domain Controller as well as a Hyper-V using checkpoints. From my understanding of doing my own research. A Checkpoint is mainly for VM's in Hyper-V / VMWare / Virtual box, which will allow you to revert a virtual machine back to a previous point in time much like a checkpoint in a game. For backing up a physical DC There are different ways to go about it which is you can have a physical device connected to it and perform a enterprise back up with a large file server, you can perform a NAS back up either locally or cloud third party. What's usually the more effective way to go about this? Physical, Cloud, or both? Any professional insight would be appreciated. Than you!

Each user profile has their own Roaming Profile already setup and configured. And I'm no seeing any corrupted profiles or anything, I've even double check Group Policy, and its been a mind bender

Hello all, I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet. The issue I'm having is this. I have multiple users within my domain, One or more of my users will leave for lunch and I'll need to do something on their computers, however they do not log out of their user accounts they simply lock them by either walking away or performing Win+L Key command. Lets say Marry is logged on, leave for lunch, doesn't log off and I need to get on the computer to clean it or whatever task is needed. I cannot log on because she is, but I can just reboot her computer because she may lose vital sensitive information that has taken her hours to fix and setup. However when I do try to login with my Administration Credentials, I'm not able to log on at all, All you will is the balls spinning constantly, the username says "Other User" and below that it says "Welcome". At this point I now have no choice but to reboot their system because they can't log on either for it is in a eternal loop of trying to log me in, While Marry is logged in. Does anyone know of, or can direct me to a resource that can help me resolve this? I've Googled it,YouTubed it, to no avail, I even went to an old IT Director of mine and he believes it could be a group policy that is turned on.. However I've been looking through to try and find the name of the Policy to no luck. I've also tried to verify it. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
