Cannot start Directory Service 2003 R2 on VB
Posted: 25. Nov 2015, 20:32
This VM does run under Windows 7 Virtual PC but when I try to run it under VB "as is" on same Windows 7 box, I get a "Security Accounts Manager initialization failure because of the following error: Directory Service cannot Start." Error status 0x00002e1. Please click OK to shutdown & reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more details.
I opted to not do this, ensure RAM, CPU & disk hardware is matched. I can restart VM in Windows 7 Virtual PC again, successful, no errors. Shutdown, try to start in VB, get the same error, what am I missing?
I am reluctant to do a AD Restore as it starts fine in the Windows 7 Virtual PC Manager.
