How to Recover Windows 2008 R2 OS when there is no IMAGE is available ?

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard SP1 OS in my Dell PowerEdge 2950 hardware.
I was doing DCOM settings. I was adding new User group and permission for the newly added user group. After completion of this activity I re-booted my Machine. After re-boot, CTRL + ALT + Delete to unlock this computer appeared on the screen. 
As soon as I hit Alt +Ctrl+Delete key, a screen turns to BLACK. During this time I checked the VGA Signal availability to Monitor and it is there. HDD activity is also exist (LED indication).
Then I re-boot the machine and chosen Safe Mode and the case is remain same.
I don't have my C Drive Image to recover (Acronics).
I don't understand show do I recover/repair Windows ....
Someone Pls reply if any solution is exist.

Thanks, for quick reply.
I had tried "Last known good" but did not work.
Remote Login did not came to my mind. Other then this option I tried with all the respect but no positive result. Finally I started from the scratch loading OS.
I was thinking to take an Acronics image before doing DCOM settings. But I was sure that nothing will go wrong as I was just adding new user group. Don't know what has happed to the system.
Last 2 days it was very bad time for me.
Anyway thanks a lot for your support.

  • How can I restore the firefox session when there is no previous version available?

    I had a lot of tabs opened for months now but this has happened before when I was able to restore the tab history in the profile folder in firefox with the "sessionstore.js" file and look up previous versions that were available. When I exited firefox and did a restart on my computer all of a sudden when it came back on it didnt restore the session I had previously opened. I went to the profile folder and tried to look up previous versions of that sessionstore.js file and the bak file too and it said it was no previous versions available. How can this happen all of a sudden when I exited and restarted the computer? I have Firefox set to remember the history and tab history and session restore to restore it all but yet this mess happens. Can anyone guide me into what to do for other things that can restore this session in Firefox because I know I didn't loose this for nothing and It has to be somewhere to restore all my tabs back. Any help?

    Awesome, glad you know about that Previous version trick.
    There's a catch though. It never works for me if you check for previous versions on the individual Firefox files. You have to check previous versions on the actual firefox profile folder.
    So to view the folders, navigate to where your Firefox profile folder lives: C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random].default\
    Right-click on the [random].default folder and choose Restore previous versions. Choose a folder dated from before this accident and click the "Open" button. You should find a safely backed up sessionstore.js file there. ;) Lastly, copy the file to another safe location and copy it back into the Firefox profile.

So today I would like to talk about several tricks on how to bypass Windows 7 login screen when forgot administrator login password. Trick 1: Reset Windows 7 admin password with password reset diskIf you have ever created a Windows password reset disk for that administrator account before you forgot its password it is easy to use it to reset or remove its password.

So if you have enabled the built-in administrator account you can enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 when your computer is booting. And access that built-in administrator account to change other user password. Trick 3: Bypass Windows 7 Login screen with Windows Password RescuerIf the forward 2 tricks don't work, it is necessary for you to use an effective Windows Password Recovery tool like Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.

  • How to Reset Windows 2008/R2 Domain Administrator Password

    How to Reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain Administrator password if forgot or lost it?
    It is annoying and bad to forget a Windows Server 2008/r2 Domain administrator login password. It is troublesome unless you have that Windows Server 2008/r2 password reset disk. We can still find several tricks to reset Windows Server Domain password but they require a mass of operations and waste a lot of time. For example, you can reset Windows Server 2008/R2 domain administrator password with an installation disk but it requires you to type a mass of command line. So today I want to share everyone an omnipotent method to reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain/local administrator password. You need the following 3 things.
    An accessible PC.
    A USB/CD/DVD flash drive.
    The Windows password reset tool Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.
    Then it requires 4 steps as below:
    Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into that accessible computer.
    Step 2: Burn it to the flash drive.
    Step 3: Boot your Windows Server computer from the flash drive.
    Step 4: Follow its instruction and click “Reset Password” button to reset your Windows 2008/R2 Domain/Local administrator password.
    More details in this video: Windows Server 2008 R2 Password Reset - Reset Domain or Local Password.

    It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
    illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
    Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:

    Step 2: Click on “Start” on the lower left corner of your screen, and hit “Control Panel”, and then doubt-click on "User Account".  
    Step 3: Choose “Make changes to your user account”, and then click on “Change your password”.

    Step 5: Enter your new password and retype it to confirm your new password. You are optional to type in a word or phrase as the hint of the new password. It is highly recommended.

And here is my question, how can i recover my system from that files without any toshiba utilities? Can i download them or something? What can i do to restore it, because toshiba recovery media is, i think not available. And if it's not so how can i do? My warranty for laptop expired.

    how can i recover my system from that files without any toshiba utilities?
     You should order the recovery discs from Toshiba.
       Toshiba Europe Backup Media Online Shop
    After you have restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents, you should have the recovery utilities and partitions. See the A350 User's Manual (attached) for how to recover after that.

  • How to reset Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller "Administrator" password?

    Hello Everyone,
    I have lost Administrator password for the following system:
    Windows 2008 R2
    Domain Controller setup on same machine
    Stand alone server - no workstations or other servers invovled
    I still have the "Directory Service Restore Password" but I don't think that helps me for lost Administrator password. I beleive I need to boot from an .iso file to gain access. I already tried "Offline NT Password & Registery Editor" and it has set
    Administrator password to (blank) but that is not allowing me access as it seems that I have to login to domain controller Administrator. So, how can I reset that password?
    Thanks

  • Audit logs on Windows 2008 works different when file is modified from UNC path

    Hello All,
    Here i have a strange situation with the generation of audit logs when folders\files are changed locally(my computer) on the server (vs) from the UNC path
    (\\servername\drive$\folder\....).
    File Server : Windows 2008 R2.
    Audting enabled and SACL set on the folder level.
    Enabled advanced auditing for Audit Object Access and enabled the force sub category audit settings on vista \ window 2008 policy via GPO and also verified that the sub category is set.
    also set SACL on one folder on the R drive. (\\servername\r$\<folder>\<audited folder>
    auditpol /get /category:"Object Access"
    Object Access : File System                            
    Success and Failure
    Situation : 1
    When i make any manipulations (traversing \ listing \ adding or deleting folder or files) on the server locally from my computer ---> . r drive --> folder --> audited folder , i get the event id generated (4663) with all the correct
    information.
    For ex: created a new txt file.
    Object: Object Server: Security, Object Type: File, Object Name: R:\Audits1\folder1\New Text Document.txt, Handle ID: 0xcb4
    Process Information: Process ID: 0x1bac , Process Name: C:\Windows\explorer.exe
    Access Request Information: Accesses: WriteData (or AddFile) AppendData (or AddSubdirectory or CreatePipeInstance) , Access Mask: 0x6
    Situation : 2
    When i make the same  manipulations (traversing \ listing \ adding or deleting folder or files) on the server or remotely via the UNC path \\servername\r$\folder\audited folder or DFS share or \\servername\<sharename>
    , i dont get the event id generated (4663) with the needed information.
    For ex: created a new txt file.
    Object: Object Server:      
    Security , Object Type:File ,         
    Object Name:         
    R:\Audits1\folder1\New Rich Text Document (3).rtf , Handle ID:  
    0xa3c
    Process Information: Process ID: 0x4, Process Name:
    Access Request Information: 
    Accesses: WriteData(or addfile), Access Mask: 0x100
    In the second situation process name is empty (for the file events) and also found that the logs generated are very less compared to the first situation.
    Please suggest if there is any fix with this.
    Thanks,

    Enable the following auditing on the server either through domain
    policy or local policy:
    Audit logon events - Success
    Audit Object Access  - Success
    On the Auditing tab, add Everyone with the following audit settings.

  • Satellite L350D - How to recover Windows?

    I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my L350D and I removed Windows Vista (and all of my files) by mistake..There was not a windows recovery cd rom when i bought the L350D. What should i do to recover windows vista? Is there any way to have Windows Vista again on my computer without buying the software for a second time? Thank you very much

    Hey,
    > There was not a windows recovery cd rom
    Yes because you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but everything about this is mentioned in your user manual.
    > What should i do to recover windows vista?
    There is only one way to restore the original settings from Toshiba: Its Toshiba recovery disk and if you dont have it you can order it here:

  • How to reinstall Windows 8 on Yoga 13 with damaged Recovery Image?

    I changed the partitions on my Yoga 13. Now it is not possible to refresh, reinstall or perform an advance start-up, as it looks like there is no recovery image anymore. The systems is currently very messy and needs a reinstall.
    Can someone tell me how to reinstall Windows 8 on the Yoga 13 when the recovery image is lost or damaged?

    hi Chevex,
      Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
    In the event that the Recovery partition is not working the only option is to use the Recovery CD that you can create when you first got the computer.
    but if you were not able to create a Recovery CD and the Onekey Recovery is not working.
    You can get the Recovery CD from the Software Department (Fees may apply to the discs)
    you can contact the Hardware Team again and ask to be transferred to Software team for purchasing RCD

  • How they can say it's fine when there are so many problems?

    I've had my Macbook barely a month, but I've taken it to the store twice for diagnostics, called Apple.com 3 times, erased and reloaded everything, and still have numerous issues despite being told 'it all checks out' and a 'replacement is not indicated'...it has more problems than my 6 yr old Compaq desktop...
    It started 20 hrs after purchase when, aften shutting down, the sleep light apparently came on and overheated the computer. It could only be turned on again after taking out the battery. This has happened 4 times, despite being sure I'm proprerly signed out and the screen is dark before shutting. Then once it woulnd't boot up - just showed muclitple colored verticle lines...a call seems to have handled that, but the result is irregularly being able to access the internet, whether thru Safari or Firefox. The address shows in teh URL line but hte screen remains white and blank. Occasionally it freezes in an email, is very delayed in receiving or sending something or loading a page. It's not MSN or my DSL as my old computer is managing this well. It's been very frustrating as all my Mac firend told me how great they were...but I'm afraid this new version with the intel processor has bugs to get worked out. It's at the store as I speak and they tell me it checks out fine, tho I've spent hours dealing with each new bug...and I'm trying to start a business and can't afford the time these issues are taking! Any suggestions? REading the others comments, it doesn't sound like I'm the only one, but am not sure how to advocate at this point.

    A few comments/suggestions:
    It started 20 hrs after purchase when, aften shutting
    down, the sleep light apparently came on and
    overheated the computer. It could only be turned on
    again after taking out the battery. This has
    happened 4 times, despite being sure I'm proprerly
    signed out and the screen is dark before shutting.
    I've seen a couple of posts complaining of sleeping MacBooks not really sleeping and becoming very hot when closed. What others have suggested is making very sure that the sleep light is pulsing, to make sure its really asleep, before closing the lid. This is if your intention is to put the machine to sleep, not shut it down completely.
    Your use of the term "signed out" makes me wonder if you mean "logged out". Once or twice I have seen my machine pop up a message after I try to log out, that some process has hung, and it refuses to go further. I would imagine there could be a problem if you close the lid in this state. (The process that syncs iDisk was the culprit in the instance I remember.)
    If you've completely shut down the machine, I don't know how it could turn itself back on unless there's truly a hardware problem.
    Then once it woulnd't boot up - just showed
    muclitple colored verticle lines...a call seems to
    have handled that, but the result is irregularly
    being able to access the internet, whether thru
    Safari or Firefox. The address shows in teh URL
    line but hte screen remains white and blank.
    The refusal to boot up and instead show colored vertical lines is allegedly a problem with OS 10.4.7, which may be permanently fixed by the next OS release.
    To temporarily get it to boot, reset the PRAM/NVRAM by holding down the cmd-option-P-R keys while restarting until it chimes twice.
    If the problem recurs, to make a fix that "sticks", once you're booted up, change your screen resolution to something else and back again. This writes to PRAM. This has worked for me.
    Occasionally it freezes in an email, is very
    delayed in receiving or sending something or loading
    a page. It's not MSN or my DSL as my old computer is
    managing this well.
    If you're running many applications, especially CPU-hungry ones, with limited memory, you might have delays as your email or browser pages in and out of memory. However, I don't notice this on my machine with 512MB, like yours, running several typical apps at once. Running anything under Rosetta, like MS Office, will chew up memory.
    Depending on your network hardware, you might try isolating to see if the problem is in your network setup. For example, if your DSL is connected to a router, try a wired ethernet connection straight to your DSL modem and see if the problems go away. Then work logically backwards.
    The previous post from nazdarky is describing the "random shutdown problem", but I didn't get from your post that this is one of your problems.
