We lost a server on a mixed mode domain. Now we have 3 Domain Controlers all
Win2k with AD installed but none of them is publishing a 1b record to our
WINS server. I have checked the registry keys MaintainServerList and
IsDomainMaster, I have set them both to Yes and True on all three DC's with
reboots but no luck. I can browse the domain but cannot access Domain
Security Policys. HELLLLLPP.. Please reply to the group
 
It sounds like the server that went down was holding the PDC emulator role.
If none of your active DCs have this role you will need to seize the role
using ntdsutil. See:

Controller
