TwistedHelixis Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Hi, I'm not that familiar with hyper-v, have you tried the following?: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/window...repair-service Thanks, it does start the service but still gives the same errors.
3s-gtech Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 If your only DC is on that host, it can be turned on fine afterwards. If you have another that is still working, it will be tombstoned after a period and won't work. Not had to check these time periods for a while now, so have a search. Only restore a DC from backup if it's the only one. As to the task at hand - I wish I could help more, but this is tricky. Do you have a system state backup of the host? Are your VMs on another drive/LUN so that you can nuke the OS and re-import them? I had a Hyper-V host die recently. It was fairly new and not running much, and the backups allowed me to restore the VMs on it to another host. Turned out the RAID controller was dying - replaced and now seems happy again.
TwistedHelixis Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Yes we have another DC Yes have system state backup Yes have host backups of the VM's Yes VM's are on another partition Going to do a re-build.
TwistedHelixis Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Question, Normally when I install an OS I select Custom but should I do upgrade in this case????? Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files and settings or Custom: Install Windows only
rrrrr Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Question, Normally when I install an OS I select Custom but should I do upgrade in this case????? Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files and settings or Custom: Install Windows only Clean install, restore system state
TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the help. So far I have installed host, restored data vm with Sims and FMS and all staff work docs. Just getting ready to restore system state. Never had to do this on a live system before so some hand holding would help. What should be done before running the restore? Q1 - should the new to be DC server be named the same as the DC that I am going to restoring Q1 - should I set the same IP address. Q1 - should the server already be domain joined Edited May 13, 2016 by TwistedHelixis

TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Great, just had a glitch Windows update on my soon to be DC. Luckily had not started the system state restore. Better start re-installing Windows again. ahhhh
TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 Just thinking ahead (still installing windows updates) this DC also had DHCP running. Should I use a backup of DHCP that I took about 2 weeks ago or start over.

pantscat Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Yep - it's included as part of the System State from 2008 server onwards iirc.
TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 I know AD + DNS is restored but not sure about DHCP. System State was taken just before server went down so only a couple of days.
rrrrr Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I know AD + DNS is restored but not sure about DHCP. System State was taken just before server went down so only a couple of days. Thats good, was hoping you was going to say it wasnt over 2 weeks old! Do a system state restore before anything, then fill in the gaps after. Do you not have a secondary dhcp you could just replicate back if needed?
TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 HELP NOT GOOD. BTW its 2012r2 server just did the dc restore went in to safe mode restored from backup (non auth restore) reboot server Needed to login as local admin disabled safe mode rebooted login using my domain admin acc and it said I have been logged in with a temporary user profile I can access DNS but not AD users Error when trying to access AD is - naming info can not be located: server not operational

Is that functional? Sure the restored dc needs to update from working dc in non-auth restore. Never done it myself so only going on knowledge
pantscat Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Do a dcdiag from a command prompt - check what's going on.
RobD Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Rebuild it and promote it from scratch otherwise. Its just a DC and will sync and pull the info from the second dc. If you need to force the second dc to take the roles.
TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 OK - logged in using another domain account and that has worked. phew, thank god I have another account.
pantscat Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Could just be a dodgy local profile then - if you can login as another account rename the ntuser.dat to .bak (or something) and try and login again.
TwistedHelixis Posted May 13, 2016 Author Posted May 13, 2016 NEW Problem the only account I seem to be able to use is the main administrator acc. If I copy the main admin account and setit up as admin 2 and then login as this new admin acc I get the following error across the desktop Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. I am then unable to click on the windows start. hmmm
