Environment: Single forest, single domain, 3 DC's, DC1 holds all FSMO
rolls, all DC's GC's, BIND DNS, DC1 and DC2 in one site, DC3 in another.
All DCs w2k3 SP0, FFL/DFL are w2k3.
DC3 went down over the weekend and on reboot get the "Directory Services
cannot start" error message.
The DA at that site is going through the steps at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258062 to see if we can determine what
went wrong.
Am i correct in thinking if this is a DIT corruption that: 1) DC1 and
DC2 will be fine and 2)simply remove DC3 using ntdsutil, flatten and
rebuild (DIT < 100MB, WAN link throughput is substantial).
Any input/suggestions are much appreciated.
