You can run dcdiag on the enterprise which will gather data from every server. Try doing that and collecting data on the issue. Also, do the objects exist in Sites and Services for the server to replicate among its peers?
Thanks to all for the many suggestions. I hadn't realised that things like dcdiag didn't need to be run on the affected DC. Sadly, it's too late now, as the DC has gone to that big server-room in the sky (or rather, Windows has been re-installed). I checked the unattend file that was used to run dcpromo and found it was being run by a VBS, with 'On Error Resume Next'. Running the dcpromo on other servers since then has worked fine, and now the decision's been made to run dcpromo manually for this batch of 50 servers. Oh well, it'll have to remain one of life's unsolved mysteries. -- AdamT "A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything." - Nietzsche List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ma/default.aspx
