We've booted into DS Restore mode, and tried to recover the AD db manually, but also get errors with that: esentutl /r C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit --> Operation terminated with error -1003 (JET_errInvalidParameter, Invalid API parameter) after 0.15 seconds. What can we do to http://www.techtalkz.com/windows-server-2003/483229-one-dc-cannot-boot-up-due-directory-services-failures.html resolve this problem on that DC? If not, can we demote that DC from one of the other DC's? Is it as simple as deleting the server from "Domain Controllers" in ADUC? Thanks in advance, Derek.

lab environment my Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller VM did not start. When booting the VM I got a BSOD with a STOP error: 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. This was my only Domain Controller and no backup so I had to solve this problem. Troubleshooting steps: 1. Boot into Directory Services Restore Mode (F8) 2. NTDSUTIL: activate instance NTDS files Error: Could not initialize the Jet engine: Jet Error -501. Failed to open DIT for AD DS/LDS instance NTDS. Error -2147418113 quit 3. ESENTUTL /g C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit ESENTUTL result: successful (no DB corruption) 4. ESENTUTL /p C:\Windows\NTDS\ntds.dit ESENTUTL result: successful (no DB corruption) 5. Event log: Error 1003: Active Directory Domain Services could not be initialized. The directory service cannot recover from this error. Restore the local directory service from backup media. Error value: -501 JET_errLogFileCorrupt, Log file is corrupt Error 465: NTDS (2156) Corruption was detected during soft recovery in logfile C:\Windows\NTDS\edb.log. The failing checksum record is located at position END. Data not matching the log-file fill pattern first appeared in sector 6697 (0x00001A29). This logfile has been damaged and is unusable. Error 454: NTDS (2256) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -501. 6. Rename edb.log to edb.log.old and restart system Result: same STOP error Solution to this problem: rename all *.log files in C:\Windows\NTDS folder and restart system.
