If you've got enough DCs to justify splitting FSMO roles, you've got enough to move it to another box for a week to upgrade the box.

When the RID flexible single-master operations DC is restored, it may use old RID pool values, and it can cause the restored RID flexible single-master operations DC to begin issuing duplicate SIDs.The best way is:- to use another DC to seize the RID master role.- Rebuild the OS on crashed DC and promote it back as Domain Controller- transfer the RID master role back to the rebuild DC.Regards,Ai Chung

Colleagues,
We have a server which crashed during upgrade (2000 to 2003). Now we want to restore it.
Problem is this server is the RID holder and the documentation on the technet says
"Restoring the RID Master can result in Active Directory data corruption, so it is not recommended." So what is the best way to restore this server?
Thank you in advance for your assistance
Regards,
Lucia Washaya
