Our PDC failed. The BDC is OK but doesn't seem to want to
become PDC. When telling it to use itself as DC it sees
the users but when asked to connect to the Domain it
fails. Help please!
 
win2000 doesn't have pdc and bdc. or do you mean the pdc fsmo role?
I think that you have a dns problem on your DC.
check is de dns server of your dc is set to itself. (under network
properties)
 
The setup had a DC (primary) and then installed another
server that was duplicating the seccurity and AD
structure. The first server DC is gone. The second server
sees the users and the security but it can\t see the
domain. The users were able to logon. I need to make this
second server the DC of the domain. In the mean time I am
restoring the first server with the same name it had
before trhe crash. Is there anything I can do on the
second server to make it a real DC?
