I had a problem about 2 weeks ago. I had 2 of 4 hard drives fail on my RAID
5 volume. I also did not have any spares for replacement so I had to wait a
few days. The server is a second DC in this building, but one of 5 in my
enviroment. I had decent backups of the server.

When I recieved the drives I installed them, installed Windows 2000 Server
and then did a restore from tape. This was at least 5 days after the
failure. Now that the server is restored I have issues with clients
connecting to shares regarding authentication. I have loads of errors in the
event log regardign directory communication.

I have tried doing a dcpromo and the authentication fails there as well. Is
there something that I can do to resolve this issue?
 
Hello EJS77,

Please give mor info about the way how you restored it, what kind of server,
member or domain controller. Did you delete/remove the old account from active
directory?

Best regards

I used backup software called Retrospect from EMC. The server is backed up
over the network to a tape drive connected to a member server. I did not do
anything with the failed server's account in AD. THe failed server was also
a domain controller.
