CAUSE
This issue can occur if the path to the NTDS folder that holds the Active Directory
database files and log files does not exist or the NTFS permissions on this folder
and database files are too restrictive, and Active Directory cannot start.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
Start your computer in Directory Services Repair mode.
At a command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each:
ntdsutil
files
info
The output should look similar to:
Drive Information:
C:\ NTFS (Fixed Drive ) free(2.9 Gb) total(3.9 Gb)
D:\ NTFS (Fixed Drive ) free(3.6 Gb) total(3.9 Gb)
DS Path Information:
Database : C:\WINNT\NTDS\ntds.dit - 10.1 Mb
Backup dir : C:\WINNT\NTDS\dsadata.bak
Working dir: C:\WINNT\NTDS
Log dir : C:\WINNT\NTDS - 30.0 Mb total
res2.log - 10.0 Mb
res1.log - 10.0 Mb
edb.log - 10.0 Mb
Verify that each of the paths and files that are listed above exist. Check each of
the paths and files that are listed above to ensure that the permissions are at least
set to the defaults (administrators and system - full control).
NOTE: You can use the Cacls.exe command-line utility to change the permissions of
a folder.
