repair failed to start (SOLVED)

<< < (4/4)

Shane:
Good to hear :-)

So it was registry keys that needed to be rebuild.

What process did you do? Reason why I ask is I want to replicate it.

I will load up vmware, have windows in it running, yank tcp/ip, then take a registry snap shot, then reinstall tcp/ip and do another reg snap shot and then look for the changes.

That way I can find what it added, removed, changed and see if any of it is able to put into a automated repair :-)

On non-server OS's you can ignore the part about going into Directory Services Restore Mode. Everything else is the same.
