Nagaraja <Nagaraja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, and I replied below:

Thanks to all for yor answers and ideas but they arrived to me to
late when i needed to start my recovery program:

0) Unplug network cable from routers
1)Add a new domain controller (using vmware ;)) with a new domain with
endind name .local
2)Add a trust between the domains
3)Migrate users,computers and profiles using ADMT (very nice app)
4)Delete the old domain from the old DC using dcpromo
5)Add the old DC as a replica to the new domain

It is a long work but give satisfaction ;)

Now i need to elige the replica DC to master but when i try to
shutdown the actual DC, leaving the replica alone, my network
connections delay to much. I discovered an error request related to
objects in AD. For example, When i try to add a new user selecting
its group from the groups list in AD, search windows take a long time
and instead of the list it displays an error message saying that
there are not any domain controller for this OU. Then i tried to ping the domain name and it shows me the IP address
of this DC.

Of course, Everything works fine if my DC is online.

How to solve?

Thanks again
Walter


To eiliminate guess work, and to better assist, can you post:

1. an ipconfig /all of this server, 2. the AD DNS name, 3. the zone name in DNS, 4. whether dynamic updates have been allowed
5. errors in the Event log

Thanks
Ace
