Hi guys,
(sorry if this has been asked a million times before but i couldn't see it
anywhere)
Got a Windows server 2003 standard edition server that lastnight was
rebooted for some "critical updates" , well machine just hasn't come back up
and is stuck in an infinate loop. Gets to the server 2003 booting screen
then just resets. Safe mode - cuts out the same when it gets to
acpitabl.dat. Last known good config no use either.
Been in the RC and used everything i can think of in there to no effect.
Plan 1 was to run a repair install which would save me having to reconfig
the damned document control databases that are on the machine. (I have full
backups of data but its going to be a massive pain rebuilding) but the
repair option just doesn't seem to be there in server 2003? Is this because
its a Dell OEM version of server or is it just not available? I could have
sworn it was!
Plan 2 - Does anyone know of any guide for using the RC for reloading dll's
etc from the OS disk? I'm pretty sure it must be a corrupt file or registry
setting or something.
Failing that i'm looking at a full reinstall of the damned system unless
anyone has any suggestions?
(heading for pub after day of banging head off walls)
