I am not sure how it suggests that - maybe my skull is thicker today than normal. Hopefully Robert will elaborate.

The title suggests separating the DCs while they stay in the same domain, the content suggests creating two domains.

Creating to stove pipes of similar data would not be desired by any organization especially when the data does not have a specific technical need (e.g. security) to be separated. Is it possible? Yes I suppose, so long as you never want those two DCs to communicate together again and the clients supported by one DC will never have to access the resources supported by the other DC. Also keep in mind that the two DCs, and separate domains/forests they create, will never be able to trust the same third party nor will they be able to share the same DNS or WINS infrastructure. Quite honestly the only "safe" way to do this is to ensure that the networks they sit on are completely isolated from each other. More importantly it is not likely that this "solution" will solve you endpoint mapper issues. I would suggest working to solve the endpoint mapper issues instead.

The one in LA is the catalog server, the one in SD is the DC, and they are both running Windows 2000 servers. I would like to seperate two servers, and create two seperate domains. The reason is DC are loosing sync capebilities, for example somethimes we can not join new computers to domain, we get an "end point mapper is not available" error, when we get this error we restart servers, everything goes back to normal. We have to do tabove restart procedires almost every week. So I would like to seperate two DC,s and create two new ones without loosing the AD data, user info ect. Is this possible?
