Im afraid I have to re-install 2012 server essentials. Virus disabled windows firewall. I ran "SFC / scannow" in an attempt to repair my server. SFC killed the web console and I am still unable to start firewall. At this point, I am willing to consider a re-install of 2012 essentials if I can figure out how to maintain the existing domain.
I stood up a trial of 2012 server and added it as a DC to the domain set up by 2012 essentails. I have various PCs and users in the current domain, meaning I dont want to start all over with a new domian if i reload 2012 essentails (which is why i stood up the trail of 2012 server). Is there a way for me to re-install essentails ontop of the existing install maintaining AD already in place? Or, can 2012 essentials join an existing domain?
