Ensure the following Machine can reach the correct DNS server, and the DNs zones include the necessary dyn registration records. At a command prompt - check that the sysvol share is visable. If the DC cannot contact the partners it thinks it needs to replicate the Sysvol volume with, it will not share sysvol, and the netlogon service is started with parameters that prevent it from authenticating logons. I believe this will also affect the operation of it as a global catalog.

The system attendant won't start because it seems unable to contact a domain controller, however the box is working OK as a domain controller as we can open and use the active directory tools. The box is also a global catalogue server. I have tried manually setting the Dsaccess for exchange using Q250570, but without success.

Using veritas backup-exec, we can restore the domain controller off-line and it comes up OK, but we can't get exchange 2000 to start. I would like to do a successful off-line restore before I try a live one.
