PSHED.DLL file Missing or Corrupt black screen on server 2008 R2

I'm trying to preserve the integrity of the application and data on this server and not perform an OS repair.  I'm able to boot into the server with a WinPE disk and access the files.   When I initially go access to the 2008 R2 OS, the pshed.dll files were missing from the server.  I found another Win 2008 R2 install and copied the psched.dll files from there to the problematic server but I'm still receiving the, "PSHED.DLL file is missing or corrupt" error.    Is there any method I can use to repair this dll?   The server will not boot.  I can only access the OS via the WinPE disk.  Thank you.

Booting using install media and enterin restore console?
Did this issue start following an update?
You may have to boot using windows media and get into the restore to go back one restore level.
One option to try to boot using last good configuration if not attempted.

Can you boot into safe mode or you get the same missing dll error?

The server did not appear to have received and update.  It had not been rebooted.  IThe server would not accept logins.   So, I rebooted to attempt to clear the issue and that's when the dll error occurred.    I've tried "Last Known" and it did not work.   Attempting to boot into safe mode results in same error.   I will try recovery media but will have to find drivers for the HBAs since this server is boot from SAN.   I was hoping there was a repair utility that I could copy over and attempt a repair on the PSHED.DLL files using the WinPE disk.
