Windows 2012 Server: Domain Controller won't start. Error 0xc00002e2

Hey all,

This is my situation. I building a Failover Cluster for Hyper-V. No problems with that. I installed several new virtual server.

Most are Windows Server 2008R2 but the domain controllers are Windows Server 2012. After I add a new node and test the live migration I noticed that my two domain controllers were offline.

So I check the console of both domain controllers, they hanging with a blue screen on error 0xc00002e2. I restart them, but no luck. The only way to start them is in "Active Directory Recovery Mode".

Error 0xc00002e2 means: Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Of course I check the virtual machine hardware. Nothing was changed.

Both domain controllers were clean installations, nothing else than the domain controller was installed. The cluster is a migration from physical hardware, we are in a test stage. So I'm lucky there are to other domain controllers.

I can reinstall the virtual machines.

But I'm concern about the future. What if this happens about 3 weeks when all the data is moved to the new servers and this are the only 2 domain controllers...
