OK. Here's what I recommend you do...

Firstly, ensure that the DNS zone for your domain allows Dynamic Updates
(secure only) and make it AD-Integrated if it isn't already. Then point all
DCs at this DC for DNS. Ensure that the DHCP Client Service is running and
set to automatically start on all DCs and then restart NETLOGON.

After doing this install, if you haven't already, the support tools [1] and
run REPLMON. Check replication and force replication. If replication is
successful, run DCDIAG /V /C and NETDIAG /V and look to see if there are any
errors and/ or failures [2].

You should also ensure that both DCs are GCs and that all clients are
pointing to both DCs for DNS (in their TCP/ IP settings).

You make a DC a GC like so:

[1] You install the support tools either from your Windows installation
media or by downloading them from Microsoft. Note that they are updated at
the same time as an SP, therefore there will be SP4 and SP1 versions
available, depending on your OS.

[2] You may find it easier to read if you pipe to a file. You do this by
adding the following onto the end of the command > <file name>. For
example, dcpromo /v /c /e > dcpromo.txt
