  1. Hey Thanks, This helped a lot, though the errors typed in the example I repeated as well. Not a deal breaker however.

    In the end I had to type ESENTUTL /p C:\windows\NTDS\ntds.dit /!10240 /8 /o in order to repair the database, but this was the only article that remotely put me on the right track.

    Thanks you Sir!
