troubleshooting Question
fixing ntoskrnl.exe on Windows server 2012 r2
experts
have a W2012 r2 physical server that is not booting and has the kernel error: oxc0000185
so I went through the steps to replace the kernel with an ISO of W2012 r2 on a usb drive.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/recovering-windows-server-2012-r2-boot-loop-roel-gijtenbeek
located an ntoskrnl (but no file path listed) because I was going to use a previous version of it.
so I still did a rename of it to ntoskrnl *.org
but now I cant replace it with a previous one because I saw no windows\winsxs\...path
May be silly but can I just copy a ntoskrnl.exe file from another server? or from the W2012 ISO disk? or willl that not work
and if not, what are my options to get his server back up and running in production?
thank you
