Hello IT,

Did you use the same hardware or different? Please give some more details
about the restore of the server and the additional steps you have done.

Best regards

I suffered a failure of the only DC in my domain and was forced to
rebulid the server.I've managed to restore from system state backup.
On reboot, I've experienced a few different errors, depending on the
method of restore.

The first error was  a 0x0000007b stop error which i eliminated by re-
installing the scsi drivers throught windows setup and repair.

The second is a 0xc0000227 stop error after the previous error is
fixed. I am unable to log into DSRM after this as the stop error
recurs. Is there any way I can recover from this?

Thirdly, a 0xc00002e1 error saying the SAM couldn't initialize.

What is the surest way of a complete successful restore? My current
hardware config consists of a Dell poweredge 6450 & an external
Powervault 220s SAN.

All drives have been configured as before the failure.

I'm using same spec, but different hardware. All my restores are from
scratch. And the restores are all system state. I only need to get
this DC operational for a short while as I was about to virtualize
just before the failure. Murphy's Law.

I've referenced this article (http://support.microsoft.com/?
kbid=263532) as a guide but with a different result. When doing the
repair of the existing installation, once I've selected all the
optional components, it installs all of them, but comes to a grinding
halt when installing COM+. Any reason for this?


BTW. By restoring through DSRM, I also end up at the same scenario.
Can I eliminate the boot error by rre-installing the SCSI driver in
DSRM, or will the restore only take effect post-reboot after the
restore?
