The reason as to why you need to logon into your server under restore mode because the active directory database service is not running - the whole idea of restore mode, active directory database is shutdown so you can restore.

My service pack level was wrong. I was building windows with sp2 but my server before crash was sp1. I was not over writing files in veritas as well.
