Directory services restore mode deadlock

Dear Friends

I am trying to restore directory services from backup on a clean instalation
of SBS2008 which works well with the correct domain and administrator . I did
boot the server in safe mode and then chose directory services restore mode.
Trying to login as administrator I get "There are currently no logon servers
available to service the login request". Now I can only re-boot.
What's wrong here? How do I login to directory services restore mode.

Your help is very welcome

Hello Amos,

Thanks for your post.

Have you tried reset the domain administrator password and log on again? Try to disable all firewalls installed on the server if there are any.

Moreover, please check if the following KB articles helps:
