My main DOMAIN controller died and now i cant replica with my new domain controller PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My main DOMAIN controller died,
I transferred all the FSMO roles to my second domain controller by seizing all the FSMO roles. My second domain controller has take over as the master and every thing works fine, BUT now I have got a new 2003 server to replace the domain controller that went down, the old server was windows 2000 so I upgrade the forest tree and domainprep to prepare the domain for a 2003 AD. After I have done all this I added the new 2003 server as a additional domain controller and gone thought all the steps! let it finish the replication it dose this fine with no errors then it ask to restart so I let it do so, but when the server comes back up there is no shared sysvol or netlogon, there is no errors in the event log. I HAVE TRED everything that I can think off and still no luck I have reload DNS and set it up so it will work with active directory .
PLS!!! Help I am running out of options

Yes we have tried that any other suggestions
Ps we upgraded the old 2000 server to 2003 so both of the server are 2003

You can try to run dcpromo to demote the server to member server and then dcpromo again to make it a DC.
ASKER
We can not do this on the main DC because we will lose all are AD data and we have try doing this many times on are ADC
You said that you have another DC in your domain? If you do there should be no problem since all DC's are equal in AD, there is not PDC or BDC. The only thing you have to do is to move the FSMO roles to another DC before doing this.
ASKER
I had two DC one died then i had to seizing all the FSMO roles the other sever.
Then i was left with only 1 DC with all the AD data
Now i am try to add another 2003 server to rep with the only dc left with all the AD data.

You should first have upgrade your OS on your 2000 DC to 2003, and then run the /forestprep and /domainprep to upgrade your domain to 2003.
ASKER
I have done both of them before upgrading
So what is the problem trying to run dcpromo on the server that will not replicate? If it is not working anyway nothing will get worse.
ASKER
we have done this many time any other ideas joe
Please clarify the steps.
Did you upgrade the OS first before running 2003 Domain/Forest prep?
Did you run domain/forest first and then upgrade your OS from 2000 to 2003?
Did you upgrade the OS first before running 2003 Domain/Forest prep?
Did you run domain/forest first and then upgrade your OS from 2000 to 2003?
ASKER
we ran domain/forest first and then upgrade our OS from 2000 to 2003?
Did you try to run netdiag and dcdiag from your problematic server to see if there are any problems?

i have just ran netdiag and dcdiag on both servers:

We look in to that being a problem and have already change that on the dns server
ASKER
We have already read this doc on DNS and other like it, it say we can use the _ but can't go on the www using the _. But if were going to change this, surely we will lose are active directory data. And the setting all work before the main dc die in windows 2000
Once there is an advertising GC on the network, the 2003 box should start to sync and become a full participating DC.
