Bit far out of my area sorry, looks like a genuinely good opportunity for someone. I'm now Northampton based.

Also edited my previous response for you, good luck finding a good candidate.

Yeh it looks like the share is not present either. Im missing netlogon and sysvol :S. If I get really stuck will robo work on both ?

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I have actually forcefully started all of the critical services in safe mode with networking. I am going to migrate it all to a fresh server install. All sorts of stuff was broken including the DHCP database which no matter where i got the database from was corrupted. I had all the scope info and reservations so I have recreated this from scratch. At least I have something to work from now. Coincidentally does anyone know if SYSVOL automatically replicates to a secondary domain controller. I have looked in the sysvol folder on the new server after joining it to the failed server and cant see any files.

yes i'm pretty sure I do and I have just got to get in to safe mode otherwise all is lost. I took the C drive VHDX offsite so I can mess with it and left the vm trying to do a chkdsk on boot and hope it will miraculous revive itself.... doubtfull

Hi everyone, Little urgent help needed. We have a server that boots, shows the windows 2008 r2 loading bar then just goes to a black screen. I can boot it correctly in safe mode but it wont let me login due to the login services not being available. Its a VM and I restored the OS vhd from yesterday and friday with the exact same result. Anyone got any bright ideas ? Thanks Squeeky

Hi, We are using standard roaming profiles it does appear to be a permissions thing but i cant figure out why they could be wrong when the profile folder is created by the user upon first login.

Hi, We have migrated all of our laptops to Windows 10 with a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller. We use roaming profiles and have come across a strange issue. Sometimes when a user logs in to a laptop or PC windows 10 says "Welcome" and just stops. It doesn't matter if you wait hours or days the PC remains in this state. The only way to stop the issue is to hard shutdown the PC, login to the server and remove profile.V5 and then power up the machine and remove the local copy of the same profile as administrator. Obviously this isn't great because the user looses all their personal settings etc Has anyone experienced this before ? Thanks Squeeky

ok thanks for your help.

No i realised that however its activating windows 8 machines just fine with the windows 10 kms key :S

Hi, This doesn't appear to be true. We are activating windows 10 clients using the windows 10 KMS key on a standard operating system not a server.

Hi Everyone, Just a small puzzle that I am trying to solve. We used to have a Windows 8 KMS Host on site to activate all our windows installs. This worked great and activated everything that was windows 8.1 or lower including windows 7. We have upgraded this to a Windows 10 KMS host after requesting the key from Microsoft. This works great for windows 10 machines and windows 8 but it appears to not be activating windows 7 installs anymore and is marking them as not genuine. We know this is defiantly not correct but cannot think why this has suddenly started happening. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks Squeeky

Hi everyone, I don't know if you can help me. We have just purchased a series of Multi-docks from Griffin and some iPad Mini 4 devices. We are finding that every single one of these charging docks seems to have problems charging the mini 4. The box we have states that these charging units are revision G if that helps anyone to compare there own experience. Below is a picture of the dock in error mode, has anyone seen this problem before. Griffin helpfully have no phone number that is in the UK to call but I don't see any reason why these docks would not work on the mini 4 when it works on other devices. When we turn it off and reset it it will work for a few moments before the charging light goes red again and stops providing power on the port. Strangely its not port specific and appears to happen randomly on different ports at different times.

Hi Everyone, Not sure if this is of any interest whatsoever but myself and some IT mates have all started playing insurgency and found it pretty good. I picked it up last week for really cheap and then decided with my mates that a server would be useful. The server always has a few players online and is setup for bot vs humans mode. All geekers are welcome if interested. Banner is below, ironically at the time I'm writing this post it has no players lol. We went with RTFM because sometimes you just wish people would! http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/5.189.158.122:27015/b_560_95_1.png Squeeky
