It's not processing logon requests anymore and is really hosed. I have several other 2008 DCs that are operating fine still. I am considering two options: 1. Boot into AD Restore Mode, and run DCPROMO /forceremoval. Then from another 2008 DC, delete that computer object, seize FMSO roles, clean up DNS, etc. Then bring the demoted DC back into AD using DCPROMO. 2. Boot into AD Restore Mode and restore the system state backup from Backup Exec from Friday night. (will the server sync up with the changes in AD since Friday night on the other DCs properly?) Any option seem preferable to you? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - Microsoft® Exchange solutions from a leading provider - http://link.mail2web.com/Business/Exchange ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
