Hi,
I have ADAM install at my Production PC and an instance created that is connected to AD (Active Directory) and synchronize periodically. I need to create the same instance at my local PC that is disconnected from the Network can unable to see the AD.
I have created a same Unique Instance name as created at production at my machine and restore ADAM instance from backup media files through following process, but after too much time the restore process is finished and i am unable to connect the ADAM instance after restoring Objects and data:
Error Message: "Active Directory could not connect to port 389 on localhost. Verify that the server name and port are correct, and try again."
Restore Process:

If it is running, stop the ADAM instance for which data will be restored.

Click the Restore and Manage Media tab.

In the details pane, select the ADAM instance that you want to restore by selecting the check box to the left of the folder that represents the ADAM instance that you want to restore.

In Restore files to, click Original location.
-
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Restore tab, click Always replace the file on my computer, and then click OK.

Click Start Restore.

After the restore is complete, close Backup.

Open an ADAM tools command prompt.
-
At the command prompt, type:

-
At the dsdbutil: prompt, type:

where instancename represents the service name of the ADAM instance on which you want to restore data.
