It's not that DCPROMO was not an option, it just didn't work - also "access denied".

Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 12:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] suggestions for tombstoned DC recovery? One of our admins restored a DC from a backup greater than 60 days old. There are no newer backup copies. Replication is not working - "Access denied". Also, the restored DC cannot be dcpromo'd out. Rebuilding the computer from scratch is not an option. Repadmin and nltest operations are unsuccessful. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeve for getting this once-working DC to "play nice again"? I keep thinking that an nltest with a secure channel reset option, followed by a repadmin operation with a force option using the one good DC as an authoritative source - should be the answer. But it doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
