We have a 2003 and a 2000 server. Both are Domain controllers (or are suppose to be). When I go into AD users and computers, the second server shows up as a DC. When I go into the first server (2003) it shows it as a member server. on the 2003 I get this error: 8453 Replication access was denied. Passwords, expiries, etc aren't being replicated. I was thinking of just re adding the second server to the domain again by DCPROMO'ing it. However, this wouldn't go well if it's the global catalogue server I'm assuming. How could I tell which server was made first (the GC)? Any other suggestions? 'preciate it.
