System State Restore Question

I would like to try a system restore to roll off some rogue schema changes
and I have a question as to the outcome. I have 2 DCs in my environment
(both W2K), if I restore the system state to my first DC and since I would be
restoring to the schema master do I have anything to worry about on the other
DC?? Also I will lose some computer and user accounts with this restore.
With I have to re-add these or will they replicate back to the 1st DC from
the other one?? Ok that's confusing but hopefully makes sense.
 
Jeff,

Go back to adsi.general and pick up the thread. We have gotten a lot of action
going on around your "issue" and one of the MS CPR guys may possibly have a
definitive supported solution for you.

As for this question, I have never tried it but I seem to recall that you can't
authoritatively restore your schema. You may have to restore BOTH DCs or
possibly no restore would work. Backing a schema up is considered to be
extremely dangerous by MS. After I heard some of the internal discussion of the
issues around the linkid issue I can appreciate what they are saying.
