Don't do it. Wipe the machine and manually remove from AD. You run the chance of resurrecting dead objects because the tombstones have been cleared. Rebuild the DC from the ground up.

Hi all, We have a Windows 2000 test network where one of the child domain DCs (the only one in that domain) was shutdown. That was back in April (more than 60 days). Is there a tool (nltest?) I can use to reestablish the trust? Just trying to hit the road running tomorrow when I get back to the testbed. Thanks!
