I have a crash in one of our Additional DC, it contains a very important software so I have to restore it from an image, when I did so it cant boot with an error (Security Account Manaegr initialization failed because of the following error: Directory Service cannot start. Error status: 0xc00002e1 ......).
I'm getting the same error even with F8 then, Directory Service Restore mode or Save Mode. The good thing is that I win to move all FSMO to the other DC and as well I Metaclean this server, so my Active directory is functioning normal and I have no problem if there is a way to force demoting this server.
Note; I have SS backup but I don't know how to restore it since my server is not booting.
Thanks in advance for your help.
