Dear All,
recently i installed a fresh copy of windows server 2008 32bit and i configured to be ADC to my primary 2003 DC, but suddenly after applying some MS updates the 2008 ADC cannot boot and giving the following error :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Windows\system32\config\system
status: 0xc00000e9
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to repair using windows disc but cannot coz i don't have image or restore point from the system.
What i can do regarding this issue as i don't want to reinstall the windows coz it's ADC.
Please advise..........

1. Have you used adprep correctly for forest and domain? (32 bit version)
2. Could you describe all steps of new server installation and configuration?
3. What is the hardware configuration?
Regards

Know it doesn't really help now but the server should have had system update readiness tool applied and fully patched before dcpromo. Is 2003 DC still functional? If so you'll need to remove 2008 from 2003 active directory.

Something happened that crashed your registry. If you don't have any backup. You will have to erase any trace of the Win2008 on the 2003....

In 2008, just erasing the computer account of the DC you want to remove make all those step, but Iam not sure in 2003 if it act the same way. If all FSMO role are still on the 2003, it's not a big poblem.
After that re-install the Win2008 and do a system state backup to disk after promoting it !

Hello,
As this is an additional DC, you can simply proceed like that:
- Seize FSMO roles to the old DC if the new DC was an FSMO holder: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504
- Perform a metadata cleanup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498
- Re-install the new server
- Promote it and make it a DNS and GC server
I think that some registry changes had been made and this made the registry database corrupted.
Please note that, before any changes on the registry databases, you have to export the database or perform a system state backup before proceeding. Wrong registry changes are not supported by Microsoft.

Hi qais
before seize FSMO. check what DC holds the fsmo roles. you can check this by typing following command in your DC.
netdom query fsmo.
because just adding an additional DC it wont transfer any of the FSMO roles automatically.
give me the results.

That is the output of you try to transfer these FSMO roles. Before seizing, the DC will try the transfer operation and you will get such errors. Please ignore them. To make sure that the DC is holder of all FSMO roles, run netdom query fsmo on it.
Please make sure that the old DC is offline and it should never come back online if you have done the seizing operation.
