Using image backups to migrate machine - not booting correctly

I restored my windows server 2012r2 without backup of SYSVOL!

I recreated SYSVOL and now windows boots normally.

Steps:

  • Restore image backup from UrBackup Restore CD;
  • Boot from installation CD form you windows version (if your windows 10, boot from windows10 installation CD, if your windows 2012r2, boot from windows 2012r2 installation CD);
  • Use restore option and run CMD for recreate SYSVOL

C:\Windows\system32> diskpart

DISKPART> lis vol
DISKPART> sel vol 1 (you volume)
DISKPART> shrink desired=100  (shrink C: 100Mb);
DISKPART> creat par prim (create partition);
DISKPART> format fs=ntfs
DISKPART> activ (make active);
DISKPART> assign letter M
DISKPART> exit

C:\Windows\system32>bcdboot C:\Windows  (create SYSVOL files);

reboot PC;
