Re: NTDS ISAM Database Corruption erors on SBS 2003 Server

Hi Crina Li,

Are you saying there's guaranteed no chance for repairing the database and
that a restore must be performed? Please see my post in Jorge's thread
where I decribe possibly tyring http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240362/, but
of course I only want to do that after an attempt to repair (unless that is
100% impossible).

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

From the error message, it seems that the AD database has corrupted fully.
You may best to restore the system from backup or do an Offline Defragment
of AD. If it still not helps, you may need to contact CSS for better
support.

For more info about defragment, please refer to:

Also SBS 2003 provides a reliable way to perform regular server backups.
After a system failure or other disaster, you can restore your server from
your latest backup. Refer to the following whitepaper for more
information:

Due to the complexity of this issue, to save your time, you may need to
contact CSS for better support.

A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Product Support Services via
telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your
request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged

| Hi,
| I have a SBS 2003 SP server giving the following error everytime I try
to
add a PC to the domain.
| Event Type: Error
| Event Source: NTDS ISAM
| Event Category: Database Corruption
| Event ID: 447
| Date: 8/16/2006
| Time: 4:59:09 PM
| User: N/A
| Computer: STP1
| Description:
| NTDS (772) NTDSA: A bad page link (error -327) has been detected in a
B-Tree (ObjectId: 29, PgnoRoot: 47) of database C:\WINDOWS\NTDS\ntds.dit
(2929 => 527, 2930).
| I can then see in AD in domain.local\Computers, the PC I tried to add,
but with a red x next to it. When I try to delete there it gives an error
| "Windows cannot delete object pc-name because: An internal error
occurred."
| Of course another error like the one above appears in the DS Event Log.
| I've rebooted the sever. I also applied the hotifx for kb902396.
Nothing is fixing this. What should I try next?
| Thanks,
| Mike
