Windows Server 2003 PDC not answering domain requests.

Asked by Tekati68 in Windows 2003 Server, Exchange Email Server

Tags: Microsoft, Windows 2003 Server, 2003, PDC / Exchange, Cannot locate any domain controllers on the network

I have a severly sick server.  We had two servers on the network but what was the backup server died and the primary server is in bad shape.  I am not sure what to do about it as it runs SQL Server which is no big deal but it also runs Exchange 2003 which is the issue at hand.  I realize fully that it is a bad idea to run pretty much anything else on a domain server especially Exchange so please dont comment on how bad it is.  The damage is done and what I need now is some help on solving these issues.  I have another server that is ready to go if need be if that will help at all.  Below is the message I am getting from dcdiag on the sick server.  If you do not think it will be salvagable without a rebuild then please suggest some tools I can use to help salvage the data from Exchange and SQL I can handle but if you have any better solution for that then please let me know as well.  

Big thank you to anyone who can help with this.  I have to have this solved by Monday morning so what ever you can do is greatly appreciated.
