Have you seen this article? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2737463 0 Message Author Comment by:landiiiks22013-02-14 No other domain controllers. I did restore NTDS but it didn't fix the problem - and most of the solutions I found on Google assume that the NTDS database is corrupt. It obviously has a problem, because it won't list files in ntdsutil, but when I run esentutl the database comes up as clean. I even ran a repair on it, but same result. I can't find anything helpful when the database passes esentutl but not "files" in ntdsutil. 0 LVL 59 Overall: Level 59 Windows Server 2008 47 Message Accepted Solution by:Darius Ghassem2013-02-14 Do you have a backup?

This works for Windows Server 2012 as well! ====================================================== I was encountering an error on my virtual Domain Controller some days ago, resulting in an ugly blue screen: “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 this system and reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information.” Since this is my only DC in the VM environment I am using for tests and development, and I didn’t had a backup or snapshot I needed it back really badly! I found some entries in a forum that discussed mixed up drive letters, so first attempt was to check this. Indeed, my system partition lost the letter C:\ for some reason, so I switched that back. It didn’t really help. Some other posts described methods to switch back to a further date via the BIOS, but I was not able to do so, and the posts mostly discussed the issue after restoring an old backup file. So I searched further, and came across a nice post, mentioning the following steps executed in the Directory Services restore mode. It basically makes use of the Active Directory Domain Services management command line tool NTDSUTIL and checks for corruptions of the service. It furthermore uses the ESENTUTL tool to check for the integrity of the JET database. ================================================= Restart the server and press F8 key, select Directory Services restore mode. Log in with the local administrator username and password Type: cd \windows\system32 Type: NTDSUTIL Type: activate instance NTDS Type: files If you encounter an error stating that the Jet engine could not be initialized exit out of ntdsutil. Type: cd\ Type: md backupad Type: cd \windows\ntds Type: copy ntds.dit c:\backupad Type: cd \windows\system32 Type: esentutl /g c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit This will perform an integrity check, (the results indicate that the jet database is corrupt) Type: esentutl /p c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit Agree with the prompt Type: cd \windows\ntds Type: move
