Windows 2008 Server
Hello,
I have a Windows 2008 Standard edition server and it has AD, DNS and DHCP. I have Exchange Server 2007 in my network. Today the AD server gave this error message "naming information cannot be located on windows 2008 server not operational". So restarted the
server and now its reboot automatically before it gives login screen.
I do not have an ADC.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks

The topic subject is not very descriptive, is it?
When restarting the DC (you called AD server), can you load the AD Recovery Mode?

I am able to load Server in DSRM mode. But DNS and AD services are stopped.

Suggest you save the eventlogs (app and sys) and reboot the server again in DSRM, then check the logs and post them here for further help.

That's a question for the Exchange forum then. But AD
IS NOT definitively fine with such restore.
Putting AD/Exchange on the same box isn't a best practice by the way.

That's a bad sign. The best option would be to wipe and reload the OS. Hopefully you will have a backup of it all.

No I don't have backup. I have an image which I have taken a month ago. Only one doubt I am having whether my exchange server will synchronize with 30 days before backup
