Weird...
A few hours ago I took the computer out of the domain, reset the computer
account on the DC and re-added it again. Upon reboot the problem with failing
services persisted so I left it until now and went to do other stuff for a
while.
15 minutes ago I went to look at those services again and found they were all
on and started, at least the ones set to start automatically. All except the
Computer browser-service. It depends on the Server and Workstation-services,
which were both on and started. I started it manually and now seems to stay
on. Dunno' why this was...
In any case, it seems like the sysprep of the master disk I used for install,
didn't do something right, most likely something to do with the
domain-joining. This is rather weird as I left the master disk in a
workgroup-state before mirroring it to the other four disks, ie I did not
mirror the disks while joined in a domain.
Any insights on this?
It seems to be working fine now, so far at least...
