I have tried SFC / Scan now, DISM health checkup , chkdsk, VC++ redistributable installation/ uninstallation but of no result.

I am not able to open Active directory for users & computers / Event viewer / Device manager.

I have searched & follow so many posts on internet but to no avail.

Please help to reachout the proper solution for this.

No one in the world can resolve this issue ...?

Answer 2

Simplest solution may be to stand up a new one for replacement.

I'd use dcdiag / repadmin tools to verify health correcting all errors found before starting any operations. Then stand up the new one, patch it fully, license it, join existing domain, add active directory domain services, promote it also making it a GC (recommended), transfer FSMO roles over (optional), transfer pdc emulator role (optional), use dcdiag / repadmin tools to again verify health, when all is good you can decommission / demote old one.
