Many thank again.

I can't believe I had 2 DC's go down like this.anyway.

The server is a Dell Poweredge 2650. All the hw in this server is
from
Dell.

Hmm, I have one of them sitting on my office floor I need to get up out the
bench.


I am running raid 5 - all the hard drive lights are green.

When I boot the server - the array controller starts.
Controller post operation successful build 3170
Displays " 1 container found" - its running raid 5

The Windows screen comes up "windows 2000 server family"

The status boxes get to about ¾ of the way then I receive a blue
screen.

Everything looks to be right.

I can't believe that I still have users able to access a citrix server
without a DC.must be a TTL thing???



The clients will use their cached credentials since they cannot locate a
DC..

Break out the Floppy disc for the RAID controller, boot it to the Windows CD
and run a chkdsk on the system drive and possibly a fixboot or fixmbr. You
will need the password for the directory services restore mode. If it still
has the Pre-install of the OS, it is kinda iffy to get a repair install on a
Dell from the Microsoft CDs but you have to start somewhere. I had a PE2900
eat my lunch for three days trying to fix a stop 7b. The worst part was if I
tried to restore a System State backup, the Stop 7b's would start again. I
hope you have better luck than I did.
