I have a error from above with all step's of ntdsutil
while opening the database. This is after a CERC raid
issue on a poweredge. All disks are online. They are not a
lot of help - hearing lsass they declared virus - software
issue. It wasn't.

tried:
ntdsutil files info
ntdsutil files integrity
ntdsutil "sem d a" go
ntdsutil "sem d a" "go f"

Get this persistently. Cannot do offline defrag - same
error. I am troubleshooting a lsass.exe System error -
Security Account Manager initialize failed - Directory
service cannot start - error status 0xc00002e1.

Thank you in advance.

This type of issue can happen more commonly in instances where there are
hardware related issues, or power outages (it is generally rare though).
If the semantic database analysis does no good I would suggest restoring
from a system state backup which is less than 60 days old (preferable
substantially less than that).

If no system state backup is available, and you have other domain
controllers for this domain available, then you may consider removing this
domain controller permanently from the domain per the article below.
