Demote the second DC first, just concentrate on getting the first DC working problem. Then do the D4 on the first DC. Wait a while to verify it worked. Re-promote the second DC.

Can someone tell me what happens if I do the D2 and it doesn't work? Am I where I am right now, or will the current sysvol share be removed? What about the D4? How long do these take in a very small domain? Will a system state/AD restore get me back to where I am now? I am trying to give the business their options/risks since this problem has been going on long before I arrived on the scene...

You may needto restart FRS or possibly run a D2 on the new DC to get FRS replicating onthat server as well. Check out downloading Sonar.exe for viewing FRSstats so that you can see if your backlogged files start replicating betweenthe DC's once you do this. FRSdiag is also useful if you need totroubleshoot as well.

There is a second DC, but it was brought on-line afterthe 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 thenew DC... just not NTFRS. The original DC does have sysvol and appears to be working to authenticateclients as normal. I need to get the journal wrap errors resolved so I canbring the second DC on-line, transfer FSMO roles and get the old box rebuiltsince it doesn't even have redundant drives - Yikes! Everything I have read says to do a D2 non-authoritative restore, butsince I only have the one DC, where would it restore from? I have run an NTbackup of c:\ and system state to try and get some comfort, but still am afraidof making matters worse. Any suggestions/recommendations would be very much appreciated...Iwould like to get this cleaned up this week!
