Adding an ADDC problems

Currently my office has two active directory domain
controllers along with about 20 clients (all running
win2k). Recently the non-root DC had hardware problems
and had to be replaced. The moron who set up the new
server (me) assigned the same netbios/dns/wins name to the
replacement computer as the orginal DC that had the
hardware problems. I thought this would be fine seeing as
how the other machine was now off of the network. Much to
my dismay I am having the following problems

1) The new DC will not act as a logon server, it instead
denies all logon requests, as well as any authentication
requests.
2) This may be a related issue, I tried to add another DC
to the network, but I get an error message saying
that "Please enter an account name that has Enterprise
Administrator privledges" even though the account being
used does have said permissions.

Any help anyone could give me would be much appreciated.
 
Go to
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_DirSvc.EXE
and download the tool. Run it on your DCs and it will create several
diagnostic reports. Review the netdiag and dcdiag reports and look for
errors. Post the errors in the group for help.

Did you perform a metadata cleanup of the old DC before creating one with
the same name?
