Hey all! 

 

Long story short: One of my Towns servers went down. This server just so happened to control DHCP, DNS, and Active Directory. 

 

They had just bought a new server, and my company was about to go down there the next day to transfer all their services over. We can rebuild DHCP and DNS. However, we can not get to Windows Server 2008 to transfer Active Directory. We can boot into safe mode, but cant boot into Safe mode w/ networking or Safe Mode w/ Cmd prompt. It Blue screens when you normal boot after the "Applying system setting screen".

 

Question for you all: Can you recover Active Directory from a full system recovery image that we have on backup?  (Yes we have tried repairing the Server with the Backup using a Boot CD) 

 

If we can't get that Active Directory, we have to rebuild the town's network infrastructure. 

 

Thanks for any help you can provide. 

 

EDIT: The server is in Raid 1 Array.
