Windows 2000 Server Reinstallation of OS

[Guest GW]

I have a corrupt Windows 2000 Server OS that is currently a member server. I

am going to reinstall the OS. Some questions. Do I need to remove this

member server from active directory or remove it from the network prior to

reinstalling the OS or can I just reinstall the OS and name the server the

same name as before and it will be automatically be available in active

directory? Will I need to setup mapped drives to my clients again after

reinstalling the OS? I have a system state backup for this server. After I

reinstall the OS, should I restore the system state backup or should I

manually install all drivers, updates, software, etc. like I would if it was

a first time install? Are there any articles for reinstalling the OS for a

member server currently located on a network?

 

Thanks,

GW
