Awesome. Glad you got it working :)
I am in San Jose, in sunny California.

2. Yes
Make sure you manually check and remove any lingering reference to the old
computer in ADUC (Domain Controllers OU), AD Site and Services and WINS.
After that, you should be good to go.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Issue
Deji it worked AWESOME Thanks a ton man, Where are you located? Couple more
questions or concerns:
1) I am in the process of rebuiling the downed server and I plan to make it
the secondary DC am I able to give it the same computer name or will this
cause some problems
2) When setting up a new DNS zone on the new DC I tried to do the top optoin
(this server will supply DNS for your forest........) but got a 'Server
Failure Error' So I Restarted the New Zone wizard and selected the Bottom
option (this server will supply DNS for your Domain Controllers ........)
and it is working. :) is this ok?
Thanks,
Aaron

In case you are still reading this, I'm still up for the next 30
minutes in case you need someone to bounce ideas off of. If not, good luck.

Deji, Thanks for the info I am heading back to work to give this a
try. My only concern is the fact that I did not have DNS running on the
secondary DC before the 1st one went down.

Look at the TCP/IP properties of the new server and make sure
that it is pointing to itself for DNS (and WINS, if you use WINS). Make sure
that the option to "use lmhosts..." is uncheck. Make sure you've properly
removed traces of the dead server from AD. Make sure that you remove all
replication links between the new and dead server (AD SItes and Services)
Take a look at my little "FSMO" pep talk here:
http://www.akomolafe.com/docs/xferfsmos.htm
You should be able to create your zone without the presence
of the dead server. Check eventlog for relevant errors. Also be sure to
modify your DHCP scope to reflect the fact that this is now your main DNS
server (at least for the time being)

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Issue
Ok here it goes,
Windows 2003 Servers
Today the Raid controller lost the HD config on my main AD
server after hour
or so of trying to get it back online I decided to opt for
the promotion of
AD to my secondary Domain controller and just rebuild the 1st
one. Well the
big problem I faced was that I never installed DNS on the
second domain
controller. I decieded to go ahead with the FSMO promotion
and everything
was seized just fine. But now I sit with no DNS (I installed
DNS before the
Seizer of roles) but it is not creating any Zones. I have
tried to create a
new Zone but it keeps looking for the downed server?
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Aaron Visser
