Help this novice please.....
Our Network is very simple: Internet --> ISA--> LAN-->1. PDC , 2. BDC, 3. Exchange and clients (<30)
All servers are Win 2003 Standard
1. PDC : AD, DNS, DHCP ..etc. 2. without DNS and DHCP only replicting AD from PDC....
Last week suddently our PDC Hard Disk Crash (No Raid or Mirror even no any Backup).
So Start to run the network from BDC, But there was no dns then i configured DNS there.. With the much problems. Any how our some network services were running with the limitations. for clients i gave static iIP.Inthis BDC the DNS giving more errors and warnings in event viewer, specillay
Computer: GBDC-SRV
Description:
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The --event data contains the error.
-----or----
Event Type: Warning
Computer: BDC-SRV
Description:
The DNS server was unable to connect to the domain naming FSMO GPDC-SRV.XXXXXX.COM. No modifications to Directory Partitions are possible until the FSMO server is available for LDAP connections. The event data contains the error code.
=============
While in this problem, i got the new Hard Drive (with RAID5) and installed the Win 2003 as before. But this time i gave the diffrent Computer name Instead GPDC-SRV as GPDCSRV (without hypen)
and gave the same static IP before. And configured the DHCP. as well as DCPROMO and DNS. But same in the new PDC also showing the Same DNS Errors. but Users and computers were replicated here without any problem.
So Please guide me how can i over come this problems apecially the DNS and AD.
And i want the Old PDC to be the real PDC agian and the services to be run perfectly with out any problem
Please...
