We just retired 2000 DC with name the name of SERVER.
First, it was stripped of all FSMO roles and DCPROMO to member server.
Then, I took it off line. Once this was all done, I have changed the name of
a new server to SERVER with out any problems. Ran DCPROMO and that ran with
out any problems.
Now, netlogon service wont start and this new server is not registering in
AD. The name is not in the AD nor in sites and services. I tried to add it in
manualy and it worked but still netlogon wont start. I can browse to SYSVOL
and NETLOGON folders just fine if using the domain.com.
There are some errors in event viewer but I dont have them handy. I will
post latter. Any thought so far? What seams to be an issue?

Hi,

After the removal of the domain controller (sounds like successful)
did you verify that it replicated to all domain controllers?
If this was a DNS server, was it removed from the Name Servers tab?
More errors will help with this issue

Good Luck
