Adding a Windows bootloader entry for DSRM

About this task

You can add an entry to the Windows bootloader so that the option to boot into DSRM is always available when you start the computer.

Steps

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Copy the DSRM entry from the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) to a GUID by typing the following command:
    bcdedit /copy {default} /d “Directory Services Restore Mode”

    A message similar to the following example appears:

    The entry was successfully copied to {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

    where 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is the GUID of the new entry.

  3. Set the safeboot option for the bootloader entry in the BCD by typing the following command:
    bcdedit /set {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} safeboot dsrepair
    where 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is the GUID.
  4. Reboot the computer, and select the option to boot into DSRM.
