I also noticed on the functioning DC in DNS that there's no _kerberos record for the broken DC in _msdcs\dc\_sites\default-first-site\_tcp

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?

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
