Re: Resetting Domain Administrator password - Server 2008 R2
No one else was a DA ? From: Ben N bennordlan...@gmail.com To: NT System Admin Issues ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Date: 06/16/2011 03:17 PM Subject:Resetting Domain Administrator password - Server 2008 R2 So i have an old set of servers as VMs. They had their own AD servers as well, but no one remembers the logon or work here anymore. I am trying to go through and reset the the domain administrator account password. I have already blanked out the machine useraccount, so i can reboot, F8, pick directory restore, and logon that way. I'm using the srvany.exe method, using a complex password. It doesn't seem to work. Anyone have luck with this in the past? I'm following directions from here: http://www.petri.co.il/reset_domain_admin_password_in_windows_server_2003_ad.htm But i thought it was odd he had D:\temp\cmd.exe instead of c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe... So i using Robert STrom's script file instead and that looks good to me. I've checked the registry setting for the service, looks good. Service looks good, although i had to manually check that interactive option on the Logon (2nd) tab. But every time i boot this server up.. wait a few minutes. my new password isn't taking. I wish i knew if there was some kind of error message or something so i can see if there is am mistake somewhere. or i'm open to other ideas on how to do this same thing. -Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin The information contained in this e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient.

So I shut down a DC VM yesterday and go to turn it back on and get a hosed ntoskrnl.exe upon boot. Great, another learning experience brought to you by Tuesday, the new Monday. Restore the VM Backup from day before and still have the error. So the virtual disk has been fragged for a while. I try booting off install iso and restoring the file and get errors trying to restore the corrupt file, so the disk is really in bad shape. Last ditch effort I attach the virtual disk to another server and run chkdsk on it. Viola, It finds a ton of file and index errors and fixes them. Detach, power on DC and it boots up with no problem. So if I would have done that in the first place it would have taken me an whole five minutes. So the moral of the story is don't assume your backups are good. Even if you can restore them, if you haven't booted them then you can't be sure, what a pain. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin The information contained in this e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient.
