Now it's time to recover… ****************************************************************** Scenario 1: Recover From Backup ******************************* ****************************************************************** 1. Get your DC backup and try to restore the DC using the latest backup. At minimum you need the system state backup to recover the AD DB. To restore the System State data on a domain controller, you must first start your computer in Directory Services Restore Mode (ADRM). This will allow you to restore the SYSVOL directory and Active Directory service database. 2. To access Directory Services Restore Mode, reboot the server press F8 during startup and select it from the list of startup options. If you're using a third party backup solution please consult the vendor documentation for Domain Controllers backup/recover scen

You notice it when the server is booting. You'll get a blue screen and an error code, like the following: STOP: c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Error Status: 0xc0000001. Please shutdown active directory this system and reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information. To begin, do as the message says, and boot into Directory Services Restore Mode. When the server powers on, press F8 before the OS begins to load. You should see a selection screen like this. Choose Directory Services Restore Mode: Once in Directory Services Restore Mode, you can check if there ntdsutil files integrity is a problem with the database by running the following commands: ntdsutil.exe activate instance ntds files If there is a problem with it, you'll see something like this returned: Could not initialize the Jet engine: Jet Error -501.

Now reboot the server. For most people, this fixed the database, and the server booted up. For others, it still blue screened after this. If you continue to get a blue screen, run the following command in Directory Services Restore Mode, and then reboot: esentutl /p "c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit" --- Same instruction above in details -- STOP: c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Follow the procedure below to fix Microsoft Active Directory database problems (corrupted Active Directory due to e.g memory issues/disk problems): 1. Reboot the server and press F8. Choose Directory Services Restore Mode from the Menu. 2. Check the physical location of the Winnt\NTDS\ folder. 3. Check the permissions on the \Winnt\NTDS folder. The default permissions are: Administrators Full Control System Full Control 4. Check the Winnt\Sysvol\Sysvol folder to make sure it is shared. 5. Check the permissions on the Winnt\Sysvol\Sysvol share. The default permissions are: Share Permissions: Administrators Full Control Authenticated Users Full Control Everyone Read NTFS Permissions: Administrators Full Control Authenticated Users Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read Creator Owner none Server Operators Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read System Full Control Note: You may not be able to change the permissions on these folders if the Active Directory database is unavailable because it is damaged, however it is best to know if the permissions are set correctly before you start the recovery process, as it may not be the database that is the problem. 6. Make sure there is a folder in the Sysvol share labeled with the correct name for their domain. 7. Open a command prompt and run NTDSUTIL to verify the paths for the NTDS.dit file. These should match the physical structure from Step 2. To check the file paths type the following commands: Start a command prompt NTDSUTIL Files Info The output should look similar to: Drive Information: C:\ NTFS (Fixed Drive) free (2.9 Gb) total (3.9 Gb) D:\ NTFS (Fixed Drive) free (3.6 Gb) total (3.9 Gb) DS Path Information: Database : C:\WINNT\NTDS\ntds.dit 10.1 Mb Backup dir: C:\WINNT\NTDS\dsadata.bak Working dir: C:\WINNT\NTDS Log dir : C:\WINNT\NTDS 30.0 Mb total res2.log 10.0 Mb res1.log 10.0 Mb edb.log 10.0 Mb This information is pulled directly from the registry and mismatched paths will cause Active Directory not to start. Type Quit to end the NTDSUTIL session. 8. Rename the edb.chk file and try to boot to Normal mode. If that fails, proceed with the next steps. 9. Reboot into Directory Services Resto
