Corrupted Registry

  • Can a corrupted registry file wipe out an operating system? I made a change to the registry file yesterday. Today I had to re-boot my server and the server will not come back up.

  • yes playing around with the registry can destroy an OS and any application that uses the registry.

  • Yes it can. Any number of things are read from the registry during boot and if it's messed up, you can be stuck with a server you cannot recover.

    backups would be good in this case.

  • Thank you for the replies. I was about to restore the backups and my server is back up.
