Domain Controller Issues - Urgent Help

[Guest bcurran@gmail.com]

Due to some issues with a failed domain controller upgrade to new

hardware, I am having an issue with my domain controllers. I demoted

one of my DCs after this upgrade and had many issues. I restored the

DC from backup, however now that DC does not appear in the Domain

Controllers group under AD Users and Computers. My question is, can I

just run DCPROMO again to make it a domain controller again. I have

another DC that is functioning and is authenticating users and

allowing for Exchange mail delivery just fine. The only issue I have

is that when our users change their passwords, through Netware, and

try to sync them with windows, their Windows accounts keep getting

locked out.

 

Can anyone offer any suggestions here. When I did my restore more then

a week ago, I did not do an Authoritative Restore as I did not know I

should do that. Any help is greatly appreciated and I will elaborate

if necessary, just let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill
