Hi,
(Posting as adviced by a HP Server Expert @ Spiceworks)
I have a DC and it the only DC I have. Recently I noticed an issue with AD. I have getting an error as in attached file. I can also see and exclamation mark in Users Folder under Active Directory for Users and Computers. The only possible issue I could remember which could have caused this is due to damaged SAS in Raid. I use RAID 5 and replaced faulty SAS HDD couple of times. But I could add / modify or delete any users
Since I have only One DC , I am afraid I will end up in desolation one day. I have tried couple of things already. I have taken the backup and restored in a different Server of similar Model. But this error is also restored in there. I have tried to restore back Same Server after re installing Windows Server. But issue still exists. I have now purchased a new Server HP Proliant DL 380 G9.
I have attached all event viewer files during
How should I go forward ... ?
1) Can I resolve this issue in this server ? (Weeks of Google Search says not possible)
2) Should I again try restore AD in New Server
3) Should I Install New Server and enable replication ? Will this Work ? I am seeing some error already in EV for replication ?
4) Should I just buid a New Server Totally from Scratch. ( Build everything from Zero :( ...
Fingers Crossed ...
