BLUE SCREEN ERROR IN 2008 Server
A device attached to the system is not functioning. Error status:
0x0000001. Please shutdown this system and reboot into Directory Services
Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
These steps apply to a 2008 R2 Core machine which is the
only domain controller in the domain which had no backups. The symptoms
are the server failed to boot due to a BDS error. The server has a
BSD error indicating "Directory Services could not start because of the
following error: A device attached to the system is not
functioning. Error status: 0x0000001. Please shutdown this system
and reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more
detailed information." Here are the steps I used to restore the DC.
1. Restart the server and press F8 key, select
Directory Services restore mode.
