Many functions have dependencies on the RPC Service.

Here is how one guy got his RPC server running again:

(Quote) Summary of work performed: "I had to change only the logon type of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service to a local account (not that of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator service).  I couldn't stop and restart the service manually after the change, so I restarted Windows. After restarting, all the problems--printing, network connections, Windows installer service, firewall service--had disappeared like mist before the sun."
Can I aask what steps you used to perform the repair?  Actually I just want to know what files you used did you use the files in the /repair folder or the /systemvolume folder or both?  IE: You used repair first then copied over it with the systemvolume version?

If you get access denied rename the system file just as you did before
we cannot acces systemvolume folder.
we can only acces systemroot = c:\windows
yeah you can do this if you get access denied:

Type cd \ and press the <Enter> key.
Type cd windows\system32\config and press the <Enter> key.
Type ren system system.bak and press the <Enter> key.
Type exit and press the <Enter> key.
Restart the computer.

Now go back into recovery console and you can access the systemvolume files
if you want to work around other restrictions in recovery console heres a few other tricks.
Allows you to goto all directories on the drive
set AllowAllPaths=true

set AllowWildCards=true
that allows you to use wildcards such as * and ? when using copy attrib and dir in recovery console

set NoCopyPrompt=true
that takes off the You are about to overwrite are you sure you want to do this promp use with care

set AllowRemovableMedia=true
so you can access floppy drives and other removable media

Doing these sets up enviroment variables for the session you are currently using have fun.
