no. they only got DA access to child domain from legal. this server was a root domain dc that was demoted to a member server. the only logon possible is local sam.its running dhcp/dns so they don't want to reboot it. and they're afraid it will never come up too.
the info i'd really like are the dns zone files and dhcp config which i can't get without local admin access. i guess i'm outta luck.
