Guest JF Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Hello, We have lost the array (long story) of data of our file server (2k3sp2), which contains also AD logs. I have restored all the data but active directory still does not work... I think I should restart in DS repair mode to fix it but what should I do first? Should I redefine the path of the logs(ntdsutil set path logs ...) or something else? Should I restore the AD backup I have done 12 hours ago? (I have 3 other DC's, but this one hold the master roles). Thanks for your help, JF
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Re: Lost log drive Hello JF, You say AD does not work, be more specific about errors from event viewer or anything else. Here are some articles about the database and the logs and locations etc. but not sure if they are the right ones to help. As said before give some more info.

Guest JF Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Re: Lost log drive Hello, I was unable to replicate this server from/to other DC's, unable to open any of the AD mmc snapins (users & computers, sites & services, ...), and a lot of different event viewer errors : 1173,1699,1977,4001,7,40960. What I did was to restart in AD repair mode and restore the last AD backup with ntbackup. It works fine now.
