Hello Experts<br />
<br />
I have a windows server 2003 that has active directory installed and it was a domain controller. I had some hardware issue with it , and the server was like shut down for more than six months. Now when I connect it back, obviously active directory is not replicating.<br />
<br />
My question is how to revive the server to start replicating with other domain controllers.<br />
Could some one also tell me what is this repadmin command used for. And how to I go about accessing it. <br />
<br />
Please guys respond back at ur earliest convinience.<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Active directory not replicating, server tombstoned , was shutdown for more than six months

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
