Recovering from a failed start

Recovering from a failed start

If Windows Server 2012 R2 fails to start, the server typically will go into recovery mode during the next startup. After preparing automated recovery and attempting to diagnose the server, you’ll see an Automatic Repair screen. From this screen, you can select Restart to shut down and start the computer again or Advanced Options to display additional options that might help you repair the server.

If you elect to restart the computer, Windows will do a full restart, which can sometimes resolve the problem. If you choose Advanced Options, you’ll have the following options:

? Continue Exits the repair menu, and continues to load the operating system.

? Use Another Operating System Exits the repair menu, and enables you to select the operating system to load (if multiple operating system are installed).

? Troubleshoot Displays the Advanced Options menu.

? Turn Off Your PC Exits the repair menu, and shuts down the server.

If you select, Troubleshoot, the Advanced Options screen has the following options:

? System Image Recovery Enables you to recover the server by using a system image file. The image file can come from a remote computer.

? Command Prompt Enables you to access a command prompt and work with the commands and tools available in the recovery environment.

? Startup Settings Enables you to change the startup behavior and start the server in safe mode. Here, you click Restart to restart the computer in safe mode so that you can disable driver signature enforcement, early-launch anti-malware protection, and automatically restart on system failure. You can also enable low-resolution video mode, debugging mode, boot logging, and safe mode.
