Description: NTDS (4676) Database recovery failed with error -1216 because it encountered references to a database, �C :\< Folder ws2k3preLocation>\Active Directory\ntds.dit', which is no longer present. The database was not brought to a Clean Shutdown state before it was removed (or possibly moved or renamed). The database engine will not permit recovery to complete for this instance until the missing database is re-instated. If the database is truly no longer available and no longer required, procedures for recovering from this error are available in the Microsoft Knowledge Base or by following the "more information" link at the bottom of this message
