We were struggling to start server service in one of the Windows 2008 enterprise edition of R2 server. Because of this issue we were facing lot of issue especially we want to migrate this server in to 2008 Active directory and it cannot because of this server service.
Ok, what we have find out after several research there are two registry entries were corrupted in that server. the registry entries are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSiSCSI
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer
Which affect the starting for the services “Server” and “Computer Browser” and causes the failure.
And these two registry entries are exported from another working windows 2008 server and imported in to this server. After this service was successfully started. ( Browser service as well started.
