Hi Guys,

I have had a nightmare today!

First in, I came to work this morning and got the mssbsssr.exe application
error on my SBS.
Then i tried looking up in the vent viewer but there was nothing
significant
that could help.
Later on, some people could not log into the domain user profiles
Have you tested your backup?

Are your event logs full of "The file system is corrupt" or other
disk-related messages?

It sounds to me like a file system corruption. My approach would be a bare
metal restore of last night's backup to reformatted disk partition.
Restoring System State on the current machine as is may help, but I'd still
rebuild the box and restore last night's backup on top of that. I don't
think that your Active Directory is corrupt, but the supporting services
might be so.

I can tell you one thing - it'll take you longer to troubleshoot this rather
than restoring it.
