DNS not functioning... URGENT 500 points

Had to force demote a W2K server from a domain that was taken over by a new compnay( unbeknownst to client) anyhow...since have registered a new domain and set up on the demoted server and DNS will not create my _tcp _udp _msdcs and _sites folders. I have tried to recreate, have flushed dns registered dns, recreated the domain. I have tried everything on the posts I have found here on EE and am running out of options. I would prefer not to have to rebuild the server as it is just a temp server. Once it is functional I will be adding the 2 new Server 2003 servers and  demoting the W2K server. I just need it long enough to move 30 users over and long enough to move the 2 new servers onto the new domain...


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Go down to resolution.  It simply could be the suffix.
You have Active Directory running on the Win2k server?

Yes AD is running on the W2K server and was able to add a user to it

gpriceee- it was not the suffix, any other ideas??
Have you tried

Netdiag.exe /fix

from command prompt?  You will need to install the server support tools to get this command.

The command completed successfully
If you look in the DNS event log, are there any errors there?  Also in the system event log, anything generated at the time you ran netdiag?
The error means that the DNS server refused the update - so we need to establish why.  

Before you promoted the server to AD again, did you uninstall and reinstall the DNS?  Or was it left as is from the previous set-up?

dns event log- registration of the DNS record_kerberos_udp.local139.org 600 in SRV 0 100 88 serverold failed with the following error DNS operation refused.
event 5744
----and___

The DNS server machine currently has no DNS domain name.  Its DNS name is a single label hostname with no domain (example:  "host" rather than "host.microsoft.com").
 
You might have forgotten to configure a primary DNS domain for the server computer. For more information, see either "DNS server log reference" or "To configure the primary DNS suffix for a client computer" in the online Help.
 
While the DNS server has only a single label name, all zones created will have default records (SOA and NS) created using only this single label name for the server's hostname.  This can lead to incorrect and failed referrals when clients and other DNS servers use these records to locate this server by name.
 
To correct this problem:
  1) open ControlPanel
  2) open System applet
  3) select NetworkIdentification tab
  4) click the "Properties" button and enter a domain name or workgroup name;  this name will be used as your DNS domain name
  5) reboot to initialize with new domain name
 
After reboot, the DNS server will attempt to fix up default records, substituting new DNS name of this server, for old single label name.  However, you should review to make sure zone's SOA and NS records now properly use correct domain name of this server.

do you recommend a rebuild...we have spent enough time researching this problem to have build 3 probably????
Back from lunch . . . .
It seems like you're going through a lot for the 30 users.  It really doesn't take all that long to rebuild anyway, so why not?

You inherited it; why not take full control of it so you're not stuck there on weekends fixing something else.
Out of curiosity, did you remove the old server via ADSI Edit?

no did a dcpromo /force removal

W2Kserver is the old server prior to demotion...we have renamed it to serverold so I am not sure why this is showing up like it is.
If you removed all accounts for it from Active Directory, and you're running into issues like this; I'd redo it.
You're at a client and want to ensure that what you do lasts.
