I have windows 2003 and active directory domain controller installed on it.
I also have raid 0 + 1 on that server.
One disc failed. So that I removed it and everything was ok but I wanted to replace failed disc do that I bought one (unfortunately not the same but different – bigger space and company, there wasnt the same disc) and plugged it in.
Ihen system start there is message that this disc isnt a member of raid, then it boots normally till Windows.
In windows there is message:
The active directory is rebuilding indices.
Is there any possibility it can be solved ?
should I wait or sth ?
Thanks for any help

You need to use the RAID utility (and this differs depending on make and model of your RAID controller) to add the new disk as a member and have it rebuild the array. This can normally be done either with a software tool inside Windows in this case, or during the BIOS POST settings phase of your RAID controller by pressing announced hotkeys.
