Try running dnslint /ad from a command prompt

Also when you ran dcdiag did you have the following switches set?
dcdiag /e /c /v

Paul,
I went through the dc cleanup proceedures when I tried to add the new w2k3
dc, there where no additional domain controllers listed. I just went
through
the proceedure again and it is only showing the one DC. No beans there...

You are referring to your NETBIOS name and your domain name.
My guess is your NETBIOS name is domain and your domain name is peak.com.
In the logon gui if you would like to refer to the domain name you need
to
enter much like you email address, it is userid@xxxxxxxxx When you
reference it this way, the Log onto box grays out.
Just for assurance use the link below and check thru its details to see
if
there was ever a restore of a dc or something similar that wasn't done
properly.
Basically you are going to go in and see what AD thinks there is for
Dc's.
What you want to do is get to the point in the instructions is where you
list the servers in the site. See if it shows more than 1 dc. My guess
is
yes.

Background: This windows 2000 domain has always been managed by UNIX
admins.
I am trying to straighten it out. We currently have one domain
controller
that is also does file, print, virus etc. This is a very old machine
that
is
still actually the upgraded NT4.0 domain controller back in 2001. The
OS
has
many issues and everything is a bit off. Obviously I need to get off
the
current DC. I am looking for some people to give me some ideas and
bounce
ideas off also. So let me know if anyone has some ideas on this stuff.
To begin with there seems to be a conflict in domain names. In just
about
all cases the domain is referenced as "peak.com" For instance you join
computers to the "peak.com" domain. However, when logging in as a
user,
the
"peak.com" domain does not exist in the log on to box. I get the
"Domain"
and "old-domain" domains in the log on to box at logon and peak is not
referenced at all. In AD users and computers the domain is referenced
as
peak.com. When I try to connect to the "domain" domain in the users
and
computers it can't find it, and all of the accounts are actually in the
peak.com domain. This domain name disconnect seems very strange to me,
and I
really have no idea where the "old-domain" is coming from. Possibly
related
to this issues is in the domains and trusts it is listed as peak.com
but
has
external trusts that that point to peak.com (it's own domain name).
Anyway, I have tried promoting a new DC and it won't let me basically
because it says it cannot contact all domain controllers. Which is
funny
because there is only one and the unix guys tell me there has always
just
been one. I cannot find any references to any other DC's like one was
just
turned off and not demoted. When I run dcdiag on the dc everything
passes
except for the following test:
Starting test: systemlog
An Error Event occured. EventID: 0x8000003E
Time Generated: 07/13/2006 13:51:05
(Event String could not be retrieved)
......................... HOSS failed test systemlog
Anyway, hopefully someone has some pointers for me in this mess.
