Recovered but can't log in to domain

I waited 2 days but still haven't heard back from ACRONIS support. The original problem created by ACRONIS TI v8 when I tried to install Recovery Manager on my server that has Raid level 0 on 2 drives. The Recover Manager crashed my drives and lost drive e.

So after waiting 2 days and still haven't heard back from Acronis support, I did the recover from boot disks. It recovered all the drives, but now I can't log in my domain controller as well as the Oracle server services are not able to start correctly.

HELP> .. so far I am NOT at all happy with ACronis technical support and software. This is THE WORST technical support in the industry and software is BUGGY!!!!

 

What happens when to try to log into the domain controller? Does it loop you back to the login screen, or do you get an error?

 

It said that it can't find domain controller. I can log on locally find and still see my domain controller on the network.

Most importantly I want to be able to recover my server to the original stage. I am having BIG DOUBT about ACRONIS ability to do so.

Here is part of the report text that I sent to ACRONIS 2 days ago and got NO HELP from them. The Recovery Manager crashed while it tried to resize the partition and I have no way of cancelling and go back. I desperately needed help from ACRONIS support but haven't heard back from them therefore I went ahead and do the recovery....

So now I have my drive partition back but I am running into a new set of problems:
a) Can't log on to domain: can't find domain controller. I can still log on as local administrator and see the domain controller and connect to it...

b) Oracle server is not starting.

Here is one person's solution:

 

Here is the actual error:
Windows can't not connect to the domain, either because domain controller is down or othewise unavailable, or your computer account was not found....

 

Well I can't help with the Recovery Manager piece as I have never used it, but to fix the domain issue you need to do the following (at least this has worked for me):

1. Remove server from domain and put it into a workgroup. Reboot.
2. While rebooting, log into domain controller and delete server object from Users and Computers if it isn't already.
3. Once back up, add the server back into the domain. Reboot.
4. Verify the server shows up in Users and Computers on the domain controller once the server is back up and after you have logged in.

This has helped me, and I do this as a best practice whenever I restore a server anyway. I am not 100% sure why this happens, but doing this reassociates the server to the domain. I hope this helps!

 

Thank You John. I will give it a try right now.

 

Great. Let me know how it goes!

 

Hi John,
Yes, I followed your instruction and now able to connect to the domain controller.

b) I still have the second set of problem caused by Acronis: My oracle server is not starting.

Why is Acronis Recover of image not 100% to the original stage?

 

Good news indeed! As for Oracle, I am not sure. Have you tried to manually start the relevant Oracle services? If so, do you get an error?

 

Yes I manually stop and restart it from the service.. no luck.. Thanks John.

 

So when you start the service, what happens? Does it start, then stop without an error, or do you get an error?
