No you can't copy ntds.dit from machine to machine, it doesn't work that
way. Even if it did you have a separate domain so the dit is not even have
the same domain objects. Either do a restore -or- if you have a second dc
from within the domain (Which it doesn't sound like you have) clean up
metadata, seize and roles and promote a new dc. Otherwise you are stuck
having to restore the old machine from the errors you are receiving.

Hi
I have 3 domains controllers running Windows 2000 and 2000 servers.
DomainA server running Windows 2000 Server w/ Sp4.
DomainB server running Windows 2003 server w/ sp2
DomainC server running Windows 2000 Server w/ Sp4
Few days ago, DomainA crashed and bluescreen. Nothing was changed on this
server. Just out of blue, got a blue screen with inaccessible_boot_device
0x0000007b (0x88fe0850, 0xc0000032, and 0x0000000, 0x0000000)
I did a fdisk /mbr and problem still was the same. I placed the original
win2000 server cd, boot, went into recover mode. Server rebooted
itself and did a chkdsk. Then rebooted itself and gave me an error.
lsass.exe
Directory Services could not start because of the following error: The
system cannot find the file specified. Error Status: 0xc000000f. Please
click OK to shutdown the system and reboot into the Directory Services
Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
I do have a backup of this server using veritas backup exec. I usually
backup active directory, boot files, com+ class, registery, and sysvol.
After doing some reading, it seems like NTDS.DIT might be missing or
corrupt. Can I copy the NTDS.DIT from the Windows 2003 Server domainB
server into it if I do directory restore mode? If not, can I copy the
NTDS.DIT from Windows 2000 Server domainC?
The FSMO roles on my network is.
DomainB is Schema Owner
DomainB is Domain Role owner
DomainA is PDC role
DomainA is RID pool manager
DomainA is Infrastructure owner
Domain C is just a domain controller with no roles.
Thanks in advance
.
