When it boots, it actually gets to the splash screen though. I get a cursor and right before the logon screen it bombs. So it appears to see the disk just fine. I would agree though that local disks on a DC would be a better setup.

Either HBA card drivers, or the SAN software connect drivers. One of the reasons, I never trusted boot from SAN, especially with DC's, local disks seem to do the trick 99% of the time for me..

The actual STOP error is: C00002e2. Most of the articles I see relate to vmware or hyper-v. Neither of which apply to this server. This is a SAN boot server, but that's it. I have a case open with MS, haven't gotten a call back yet. :/ From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:ezi...@lifespan.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 10:18 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Out of sync DC You can do that, once you get the server back up, do a dcPROMO down, accordingly and let the roles transfer if there are any. Most times 0x1c is a driver issue.

I dont see any errors related to AD. When I boot it normally, it crashes with a stop 0x0000001c (i think) and says to reboot in AD recovery mode. Maybe I just need to do a regular ol' windows repair on it? ******************************* John C.

When I have a DC down for several hours the only side effect I see if error in the event logs that clear up after an hour or so of replicating. I've had an SBS server (by definition a DC) offline for 8+hours and no ill effects powering it back up and re-synching with the other DC's. Dave From: Kelsey, John [mailto:jckel...@drmc.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 12:17 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Out of sync DC Last night had one of our DC's offline for over 8 hours. When we finally corrected the issue, it crashes on boot and says to boot into AD recovery mode. OK, I rebooted in to the recovery mode...and it does boot successfully. But, what do I do now? Since its been so long, am I better off to just demote it out of the AD? Its a 2008 DC. I have 2 other 2008 DCs that are still up and running. Any advice is appreciated.
