Have a small Windows 2000 native AD domain, 2 DCs total.  One of the DCs was rebuilt recently.  It was demoted, a new server built, and promoted. 
 
Now, from the new DC, every server or desktop in the domain it tries to browse, you're prompted for username/password.  Trying to use AD Users and Computers, it says it cant contact the domain.  Viewing the FSMO role holders, it says the operations master is "OFFLINE".
 
I suspect this DC is off in the weeds.  Would a simple demote/promote fix it or is there some other resolution?  It has DNS configured properly, it just seems that keeping the same computername as the old DC wasn't such a good idea as now it's confused. 
 
Thanks
