The booted IXS OS is unaware that anything has changed and
merely thinks the server was shut off for a day or two.

Agreed -- and that's no different than any other save/restore. That's
not the problem, the issue comes into play in cases where there are
multiple AD servers in the domain and you're only restoring one of them.
In that case, while the server you're restoring is unaware of any
changes, the network as a whole is aware of them, and now your restored
server is out of sync with the rest of the world. You can get it back in
sync, but there's a process you need to perform.

I don't think there'd be an issue with running on the IXS
that wouldn't also exist on standalone hardware.

Absolutely correct! If you restore in the standalone world you also have
to deal with the "correct" way to restore an AD server. The point I'm
trying to make is you can't just restore an IXS storage space that
represents an AD server in a network w/out understanding the
implications (on the windows side) of doing so. Restoring AD servers is
not the same as restoring file servers.
