Given the issue, this won't work. dcpromo replicates off any changes on teh local dc to another dc during the demotion process. --Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Payton on the web! www.wpcp.org v - 773.534.0034 x135 f - 773.534.8101 c - 312.731.3132

I am also a fan of wipe the machine, test for hardware issues, and start over. You may find the issue if you troubleshoot but in every occasion where I have gone into the troubleshooting process on a dead DIT I ended up rebuilding anyway, usually have the DC sitting there dead a day or four with no answers. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CC/DNA) Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 11:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Database Corrupt If possible, remove the DC from the domain, and do the NTDSUTIL clean-up, and just rebuild it. Check your Anti-virus comfit to make sure it isn't possibly configured to scan the AD databases. Also check the hardware to make sure you don't have a controller card or HD issue. Unless there is a reason to try to save the box, I would just rebuild them. Todd -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 7:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] AD Database Corrupt One of our 60 AD DC's has stopped replicating. All of the others are still replicating fine. On the problem DC, where are seeing the following in the Directory Service log in event viewer: Event Source: NTDS ISAM Event Category: Database Corruption Event ID: 467 Description: NTDS (536) NTDSA: Index INDEX_00020078 of table datatable is corrupted (0). Event Source: NTDS Replication Event Category: Replication Event ID: 1084 Description: Internal event: Active Directory could not update the following object with changes received from the following source domain controller. This is because an error occurred during the application of the changes to Active Directory on the domain controller. Object: distinguished_name_path_of_object_that_failed_to_write_to_local_database Object GUID: 32_character_alpha-numeric_object_GUID Source domain controller:object_GUID_for_source_domain_controller's_NTDSDSA_object._msdcs. forest root domain Synchronization of the local domain controller with the source domain controller is blocked until this update problem is corrected. This operation will be tried again at the next scheduled replication. We have looked at MS article 837932, but nothing seems to apply. And, the corruption location seems to be in the domain database from what we see in the details of the one error above and from the results of repladmin /showreps. At this point, is there anything that can be done for this DC other than restoring or demoting and re-promoting. Unfortunately, we will be unable to do a restore because we backup the System State on some of our DC's, but not this particular one. The one saving grace is that it is a remote office DC and not one of our primary DC's or FSMO role holders. Any suggestions?
