Please use option 1. Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected] w - 312.625.1438 | c - 312.731.3132 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 11:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2008 DC problem - uh oh Have a situation where my main 2008 DC is no longer working properly. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://link.mail2web.com/mail2web ~ 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
