Stuck in Safe Boot
Posted on 2011-03-08
Help, I think I've done something stupid!!!!
We where getting massive lag on our internet connection. I narrowed this down to one of our server and though I would do a safeboot to try and narrow down what was causing the problem. I did an msconfig safeboot with networking.
When the server boots into Safeboot it gets stuck at "preparing network connections" (ov 40 mins so far). I tried doing an f8 start and then picking normal boot and last know good configuration, but the server boots back into safe mode. I though I would try and edit the boot.ini file in the recovery console, but booting from the CD's needs a raid driver and I have no usb floppy disk with me to put it on.
Is there anyway of booting ther server back up normally????
it is a dell poweredge server with windows 2003 SBS on it.
Cheers.

Possibly alot of raid drivers are included but if not it gives the option to F6 if you need to install drivers
If you have a latest system state backup then start server in directory service restore mode and restore the system state , make sure you have latest system state when server working ,
some time you will lost some users id after that backup.
Please also note that if server boots in safe mode then take the bakup also
