If you bring the DC back online, you run the risk of resurrecting deleted objects in the Config NC and in the global catalog (if the machine is a GC). If you need the domain data, perhaps you can run LDIF to extract the domain data, rebuild the DC, then import the LDIF file.

Hi all, We have a Windows 2000 test network where one of the child domain DCs (the only one in that domain) was shutdown. That was back in April (more than 60 days). Is there a tool (nltest?) I can use to reestablish the trust? Just trying to hit the road running tomorrow when I get back to the testbed. Thanks!
