Hello, I have one DC right now (the one that isn't working). Yes, the FSMO
roles are available and the DC is a global catalog server.

Hello Farslayer,

How many DC's do you have now? Are all 5 FSMO roles on them and are they
also Global catalog server? Check with "netdom query fsmo" that all 5 FSMO
roles are available.

Open Active directory Sites and Services and then double-click sitename,
double-click Servers, click your domain controller, right-click NTDS Settings,
and then click Properties, on the General tab, to check for available GC.

Best regards

I'm having a time of things. Recently a domain controller, the first
one in
the domain, died. I was able to successfully remove the controller
from
active directory using the Microsoft knowledge base article, but now
my
domain can not be found. DCDIAG gives errors when run from the
current
domain controller. I've used the registerdns switch of ipconfig,
restarted
net logon, and ensured that the old server is not referenced anywhere
in DNS.
I've also ensured that all of my clients are using this server as the
DNS
server, but still, I can't find the domain. I can successfully ping
the
server and all other clients by name, I do not use NetBIOS and I do
not use WINS, and I can use nslookup successfully. Plus, the SYSVOL
and NETLOGON shares are completely gone. I need serious help. The
results of a DCDIAG are below. The site name is HURRICANE, server
name is CORUSCANT.
