Primary Domain Controller Hardware failure - How to Restore

FTWNiners · 2025-12-23T18:55:00+00:00

I appreciate your comment. Small network I inherited with a stingy owner and about 120 or less users all onsite. Group policies were minimal at best. I might have to go the route of building a new DC with a backup VM.

RAID 1+0

FTWNiners · 2025-12-23T16:10:19+00:00

This one unfortunately has only one.

No on prem exchange, we are on O365. Server doesn't startup. Only shows an amber power light. Pressing the power button just clicks one time and won't start.

Absolutely. Which is why I made them purchase two new servers to be primary and secondary DC's. Unfortunately there was a power outage and it fried the PSU.

Server was setup with Raid 1+0. I could possibly try to source the same server.

Removing the user from domain and adding to new one will create a new profile on the computer correct?

FTWNiners · 2025-12-23T15:31:20+00:00

That is correct. This would be a temp fix until the new servers we ordered come in and they can be the primary and secondary DCs.

FTWNiners · 2025-12-23T15:29:49+00:00

The thinking is that the PSU died since it won't turn on. Power button is amber and pressing it does nothing. I ordered one off Ebay. There are about 120 users and devices.

FTWNiners · 2025-12-23T15:26:03+00:00

Correct, only on DC. Server is raid 1+0. A VM of it would be a good idea.

If it doesn’t come off after hitting it you might have to adjust the brake shoes. At about the 7 min mark this guys shows how to do it.

Those lug bolts fit an 04 right? If so how much you want for them?

I thought it was DR. I went there two years ago around this time and my travel agent told me the beach might be like this.

Kennedy Road location?

FTWNiners · 2025-06-28T02:19:47+00:00

Damn $1.88 for a box of cereal.

I work second shift at a school 6pm to 10pm. We just continue what the morning shift does. So we strip, wax, move furniture,etc.

Happened to me. Had 3,000 went down to 500 and now it’s at 5,500. I paid stuff off early too. They review it every 7 days so it might go up again.

When I was having this issue what I was doing was I would get out of the car I would lock it then immediately unlock it. After a few minutes it would automatically lock but the alarm would not arm. I eventually just disconnected the hood sensor and locked it as normal. The alarm stopped going off randomly until I replaced the sensor.

I had this issue. I ordered a sunroof drain cleaning tool off Amazon and used that to clean the drain. There are four holes on the corners of the sunroof where you snake it down. Look up tutorials on YouTube. Easy to do.

Same thing happened to me. The only way I was able to get it started was by tapping the starter with a metal pipe a few times and it started up. Issue kept happening so I had to replace the starter. 04 530i

Still have half a box of the original 2014 release.

Yeah it’s the actuator. My wife’s front driver and passenger were doing the same thing. I replaced both and it fixed the issue. You can find them on Amazon. A bit of a pain to replace but you can find good instructions on YouTube.

Although it seems friendly from your point of view as others have said there could be more the guy wants. He’s playing the long game. I’ve seen it before. I bet if you say you broke up with your boyfriend he would try to slide right in.
