Unable to join to the domain or ping the server from the client

[TimJohnson5]

Hi,

This all started when I noticed my Windows 2008 r2 DC had the Windows firewall turned off and I attempted to it back on, I got an error code

0x8007042c. I jumped on Google and such the error code 0x8007042c. I went to MS site>

“0x8007042c” error message when you try to start Windows Firewall - Microsoft Support

Provides a solution to error message "Windows firewall cannot change some of your settings Error code 0x8007042c" when you try to turn on Windows Firewall after you upgrade to Windows 7.

I followed the fix tips provided but that created more problems and even made my problems worse than before.

I created and ran this batch file as an admin- but it never fixed my problem.

sc config MpsSvc start= auto
sc config KeyIso start= auto
sc config BFE start= auto
sc config FwcAgent start= auto
net stop MpsSvc
net start MpsSvc
net stop KeyIso
net start KeyIso
net start Wlansvc
net start dot3svc
net start EapHostnet
net stop BFE
net start BFE
net start PolicyAgent
net start MpsSvc
net start IKEEXT
net start DcaSvcnet
net stop FwcAgent
net start FwcAgent


User's can't even login to the server and can't ping the DC from the client but I can ping client to client.

I tried to remove one machine from the domain but now I can't rejoin.

How can I undo this script and get the server back to normal?

I also ran sfc /scannow but no problems were found.

Byw: This is a Windows 2008 r2 and Windows7 clients on all networked.
