Brian doesn't need the validation but I concur 100%. I would simply add 2.5 Wait for and verify that replication distributed the cleanup changes to the Domain Controllers -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm

Unless you had to use the same. 4) Use DCDIAG on the other DCs prior to and after promoting the rebuilt one. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Sent: Friday, November 03, 2006 3:51 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DC crashed Did you delete this server object from ADU&C?

One of my domain controllers (which held all the fsmo roles) crashed and I had to reinstall. Now that I've reinstalled, I'm ready to rejoin and promote. But I can't; I get "User already exists" when trying to join. I am using the same computer name as before. I have not deleted or changed anything in the directory on the other server yet. What do I need to do to get my old server back as a domain controller? Links to articles or even words to search by would be of great help. Thanks for any advice. Bruce.
