Restoring Backup of 1 PC to a new PC

Thread needs solution

I have a backup of PC 1 that I'm trying to restore on PC 2. I ran to boot loader and was able to restore from the images that B&R 11.5 created. PC 1 was joined to an AD domain at the time of backup, so now PC 1 & PC 2 have the same PC name. I unjoined PC 2 from the domain and changed it's name. I'm trying to rejoin the domain and I get the following error:

Note: This information is intended for a network administrator. If you are not your network's administrator, notify the administrator that you received this information, which has been recorded in the file C:\Windows\debug\dcdiag.txt.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "dgridge.ad":

The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.dgridge.ad

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:

8.8.8.8
192.168.10.5

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

dgridge.ad
ad
. (the root zone)

Has anyone ran into this type of issue before or did I miss something in the restore?

Thanks
Troy

If googling for this error ("The error was: DNS name does not exist." ) doesn't help, I'd try to use 'change SID' option during restore, maybe it will help.

I completed another restore and this time set the flag to "change the SID" and rebooted the machine after the restore completed and had the same results.

I ran the exact same restore changing the SID on the source computer (PC#1) and it does the same thing. I dis-joined it from the domain, restart and then tried to rejoin it to the domain and I get the same error message from before. I have tried flushing the dns and still no results.
