Hello Matjaz,

Thanks for replying to my cry!!
logging on to the domain is also part of the problem. From
my workstations I can see the domain name in "logon to",
but attempting to logon to it brings the error "no domain
controller is available to process the request". All
workstations only see the actual domain name "colli-
tech.com". I cannot access any resources from the domain.
When I boot the server/controller in safe mode "Active
directory restore", the computer's domain is listed
as "unknown". In this mode I cannot access the active
directory domains and trust object. When I try I get the
message "the configuration information describing this
enteprise is unavailable..." Using ntdsutil.exe to try to
recreate the domain results in an error when I try to
connect to it: "sBindW error 0x6d9(There are no more
endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.)" Microsoft
says that means the dns-server is using old data.
Reinstalling the DNS server as they suggest didn't help.
Do you have any idea why and what I could do to recreate
the domain?

Thanks in advance!
