We have a single forest with 2 domain trees. One of the domain trees has includes domains. One parent domain and 2 child domains. All three domains have one DC. A few days ago, the DC from the parent domain stopped working because of some h/w issues. So, the whole AD environment is screwed up. I'm trying to install another DC for the same domain but it fails. Guess it tries to connect to the faulty DC. I cannot remove that domain as it has 2 child domains. Would it be possible to create another domain tree and change the parent domains for those 2 child domains? Any suggestions on how I can solve this problem??
