Hello Minimbah,

The article is in the moment the best/only solution, i can see.

If you do not have a backup from system state and can repair the machine
to start i think you have to rebuild. I do not see another option.

Best regards

Hi all,
I manage the single SBS 2003 server at a small charity on a pro bono
basis.
We have had a serious problem with Active Directory. When the system
starts
up the following error message appears:
LSASS.EXE - System Error, security accounts manager initialization
failed
because of the following error: Directory Services cannot start. Error
status 0xc00002e1
I have followed the troubleshooting steps in the Knowledge Base
article 258062 and the good news appears to be that the NTDSUTIL
reports that directory database is consistent. The bad news is that
it seems that the edb.log file is corrupt.

I tried to perform an offline defragmentation using NTDSUTIL and it
failed
with a Jet error -501. The error messages lin the event viewer look
similar
to the following:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: NTDS ISAM

Event Category: Logging/Recovery

Event ID: 465

User: N/A

Computer:

Description:

NTDS (532) NTDSA: Corruption was detected during soft recovery in
logfile

E:\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 xxxx. This logfile has been damaged and is unusable.

For more information, see Help and Support Center

There is not another domain controller in the domain and there is not
a recent system state backup. (The donated server we were using for
backups across the network fell over a few months ago. These are the
challenges of trying to keep a network running on a near-zero budget).

So my questions are simple -
1) Should I proceed with a lossy recovery of Active Directory as
suggested
in KB 258062?
2) Given the error messages above, is a lossy recovery even likely to
work?
3) If the lossy recovery option does not work, do I have any other
option
apart from a total rebuild ?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
