Hi-
I am new to the list and was hoping someone could help with an ugly situation I was brought in to clean up:
I am working with a W2K native mode domain with only ONE active domain controller (W2K SP4). There is a second DC, but it was brought on-line after the journal wrap errors (Event 13568 ) began and has never replicated sysvol (doesn't even exist on the box). It appears AD and such are working with the new DC... just not NTFRS.
The original DC does have sysvol and appears to be working to authenticate clients as normal. I need to get the journal wrap errors resolved so I can bring the second DC on-line, transfer FSMO roles and get the old box rebuilt since it doesn't even have redundant drives - Yikes!
Everything I have read says to do a D2 non-authoritative restore, but since I only have the one DC, where would it restore from? I have run an NT backup of c:\ and system state to try and get some comfort, but still am afraid of making matters worse.
Any suggestions/recommendations would be very much appreciated...I would like to get this cleaned up this week!
Thanks so much,
Aaron
