lsass.exe - System Error : Directory Services could not start because of the The specific network password is not correct. Error status 0xc000006a

Hi everybody,

I re-installed a new sbs 2003 server on the same computer as before, i updated it to service pack 2 & all the most recent security patches with an active directory configured.

After that, I reboot the server and Pressed F8 to boot into directory services restore mode, restored the server from the last known backup (I have a acronis image from my server and a systate backup from ntbackup)

I  restore the ntds folder from acronis and place it on the server to replace the files and set the permission on the folder, when i do this, i got the error mentionned below, and use ntdsutil to check integrity, and everything was ok.

All seem to go ok till I came to log on to the restored server, I get the error

Error description:
"lsass.exe system error" Directory services could not start because of the following error: The specified network password is not correct error status 0x000006A Please click OK to shutdown this system & reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode & check the event log for more detailed information.



When i try Ntbackup with restore the systate, i got so many many errors. And the AD did not start. i don't know where to begin for that ...


By the way, did somebody know a good free application to transfert the AD from a sbs 2003 server to a fresh new install of it and works simple?

Hi Jose.

Question #1 :I don't have any other DC.
Question #2: Yes i have the same computer name.
Question #3: No

Do you think, if i restore the sbs 2003 image from acronis to a virtual session (vmware), i can join the other fresh install of sbs2003 and run dcpromo if they are on the same network?

If yes,

on my fresh install of sbs2003 (it's already a domaine controller AD)
first: i will run dcpromo to remove the AD.
second : i will rename the computer name
third : join the server to the domain on the virtual machine.
fourth : run the dcpromo.
five : when the dcpromo will be done, did i will need to change the computer name to the one it's supposed to be. how can i roolback to the usual computer name after the server will be promoted?

To you think that will work like this.

Question : it is possible to join a server with sbs2003 and have two domain controller on the same network (after running dcpromo on the fesh install)?

It's just because i know that, you can't permit to use trust relashionship with sbs2003 for different domain. I know is not the same thing, but i don't whant to make all the procedure if i'm not able to doing this...

Thanks a lot



did you have a complete image of your Dc server with  acronis? if yes then you don't need to use directory services restore mode,because this server is  the only Dc, dns server etc, then just restore the image using acronis and your domain will be back(probably losses some accounts or groups created unless you image is very recently)
about your question :Question : it is possible to join a server with sbs2003 and have two domain controller on the same network (after running dcpromo on the fresh install)? yes you can  have several dcs on your domain
Jose
The problem is that my sbs 2003 installation (full acronis image) have many problem when operate.
