hi there,
i have a problem. i have a windows 2000 server that is a domain controller. and after a power surge, the active directory database got corrupt, the system doesnot boot into normal mode and it cant boot into safe mode either.
unfortunately all my backups of the system state data are corrupt so i cant restore the AD database. i donot want to carry out a fresh installation of the server because i have installed many applications which i dont want to reinstall.
someone told me there is a way to remove AD by editing the registry but i dont know how and i am not much of a registry guy so i need step by step help to edit it.
could anyone please help me remove AD so that i can log onto the server normally.
i can only log on in Directory Services Restore mode.
i will be greatful for your assistance
regards
picho
