It is not possible to use a systemstate
backup from one DC on another DC. You can however use it to install another DC
using the feature "install from media" (DCPROMO /ADV)
You need to transfer the PDC FSMO role.
For this see:

#JORGE# From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roberto De Lise Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 16:13 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Schema Directory Partition replication error The situation is as follows:
We have a server that is experiencing hardware
problems (motherboard probably) that has been running as PDC for 2 years
now.
We configured a new and more powerfull server and
wanted this one to run as new PDC.
I tried taking a systemstate backup from the old
server and restoring it on the new one, with the result that the new server wont
reboot anymore.
Now I'm trying to setup the new server as a SDC,
then kill the old PDC and make the SDC authorative so the new server becomes
PDC.
All good and well, but i get this errormessage
when i try to setup the SDC
My idea of it is that it says 'ahserv.' instead of
the fqdn ahserv.cvo-ah.be., but not to sure about that.. DNS is running on the
current PDC and is allowed to update.
When I check the folders netlogon creates inside
the domain they point to ahserv. and not ahserv.cvo-ah.be. .. I tried setting
all records to the fqdn and then setup the SDC but it didn't help (it also still
said ahserv. instead of the fqdn in the error message, so not sure it worked by
manually editing the dns records)
Someone out there that knows how to fix this
?
Hope someone can help me.
