Re: Directory Services Restore Help!!!

Array failed, and we had to restore from tape.

Errors in Event Viewer are:

Event ID 4004, DNS
The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone
(domain name). The DNS server is configured to use information obtained
from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without
it.........

Event ID 4001, DNS
The DNS server was unable to open zone 0.168.192 in-addr.arpa in the Active
Directory. This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from
the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it......

Event ID 4007, DNS
The DNS server was unable to open zone_msdcs.domain name in the Active
Directory from the application directory partition ForestDNSZones.domain
name, This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the
directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it.......

Event ID 4015, DNS

The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active
Directory.....

The server is a file server. the Data for their proprietary software is on
the server, and they store, word, excel...etc files on the server.

Installed bigger hard drives in a mirrored raid config, (Windows 2003

this
site. Backup software tech instructed me to install all service packs
before doing the restore. There were a few problems after the restore,
when I checked the SP, it was service pack 1, and I had installed SP2
prior
to the restore. The mmc will not open dns, and others. Apparently
after
updates were run on Friday, only the Server could connect to the
Internet.
I had to manually configure the gateway on the workstations to get them
on
the Internet. If I install SP2 on the server will it solve all the
problems
they are having?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Candace,

Can you post some of the error messages that you are getting from the
event
log. this will help me determine what kind of error it is.

off the top of my head, im not sure what all this server was set up to do,
but it sounds like it has some problems. if the server was SP2 prior to
the
restore, I would put SP2 back on it now. I wouldnt assume that it will
fix
all of your problems.

also why did you have to use Directory Services Restore? All you did was
change the mirror array size?
