actually
I have windows 2003 standard Active directory----Doman Controller and Additional Domain Controller my domain controller's hard disk crash now i want to use Additional Domain Controller as a Domain controller.
Is DNS installed on the other Domain Controller?  If not, install DNS and ...

... reconfigure all of the clients (and possibly the remaining Domain Controller) so that their Preferred DNS server points to the IP address of the remaining DC.

Do you intend on restoring, rebuilding or in some way replacing the failed DC?

waiting dwells

I don't appreciate the 'waiting' comment, I do this in my own time and of my own accord - demonstrate some patience or get your help from someone else!  Man, that's rude and I don't lay that at the feet of a language barrier.

I've given you both the commands and a link, I can re-paste the same stuff or you can refer back in the thread -- the link was in my 2nd post.

FWIW - I'm done helping here ...
