OS: W2K8R2SP1 | Only DC
Just did dcpromo and installed AD and DNS without enabling ADDS and DNS in Roles; and now after auto reboot it does not take both my and administrator password. So can't login to the domain/server.
This is a test to replicate an issue that had happened in production env when AD and DNS where installed using dcpromo without first enabling the corresponding roles. To see if a solution exists to come out of this situation and save the AD.
What are the possible reasons for not allowing to login? FYI, earlier password's complexity was complex enough, so Default Domain Policy should not interfere. DSRM working fine.
How can this situation be salvaged so that I don't have to re-image and the AD and DNS works fine. Can LKGC work, to take the server back to days when it was not yet a DC?
