Unable to boot the server after performing a BMR

Symptom

When the source machine is an Active Directory server performing a BMR to a physical machine with different hardware or to a virtual machine on a Hyper-V server, the server does not boot and a blue screen displays with the following message:

STOP: c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: a device attached to the system is not functioning. Error status: 0xc0000001.

Solution

Reboot the system to the BMR PE environment, rename all *.log files in the C:\Windows\NTDS folder, and restart the system. For example, rename the file edb.log to edb.log.old and restart the system.
