DSAMAIN.EXE EVENTLOG (Informational): NTDS General / Service Control : 1004

Question

I´m trying to instanciate in memory on the port 5432, a backup of the NTDS.DIT file and the error is there.
I need to check if the database in that particular day have certain objects in the database, soí´ll open the old backud up database using LDP.EXE or ADSIEDIT.MSC to look for objects
I´m trying:
dsamain -dbpath .\ntds.dit -ldapport 5432
The output:
EVENTLOG (Informational): NTDS General / Service Control : 1004
Active Directory Domain Services was shut down successfully.
The same adding the parameter -logfile .\
What´s going on?
I´m sure the database is Ok (the file have the szme exact siz in other 3 DCs) and the backup was done using CA ArcServe R16.5 and the logs of the backup are OK

Answer 1

I have several DCs and after trying to map the database using another DC, it worked!
The DC i chosed to map at the first time is really a DC that i´m plannning to demote and re-promote to make sure the database is OK, therefore the main reason of the failure could be the binaries or something happening with the O.S. (this DC have passed
in NTDSUTIL/header/checksum/integ analsys)
I also allowed DSAMAIN.EXE at the local firewall to make sure
