Just re-demote it and disjoin it from the domain. Clean up DNS. Delete the
account manually in ADUC (there is probably a dupe already). Then rejoin and
repromote.

It was successfully demoted the first time, and the second answer is NO, I
probably didn't.
I'm trying http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;260575
right now (NETDOM RESETPWD) and its telling me the specified network password
is not correct. I'm using domain\administrator in the command line.

Was the DC successfully demoted the first time or did you have to forcefully
remove it? Did you make sure all traces of the old DC were gone in AD before
you re-promoted it, including all DNS records?
Thanks... ... ... ...

Subject: [ActiveDir] Weird AD problem
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
