Hi,
In this case where there is no network connectivity at the the Disaster
Recovery site, we may try to use the NTBACKUP utility to backup the PDC, and
then restore the backup on the new server. However, this is not a supported
way and we cannot guarantee it will work. If it does not work, we have to
establish network connection between the production site and the test site,
and perform the steps as I mentioned in the previous post.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know.
Sincerely,
William Wang
