Hi Susie,

In Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 there are no more PDCs and BDCs. With
Windows 2000 Microsoft introduced so called multimaster domain model and all
domain controllers (almost all) are equal.

Can you still access shares and other resources on this server over the
network?

Check system and application log on server that you can access. I am sure
you will get some additional information and ideas why you can't access it
from any other server. If necessary post back with more information from
e.g. system log of server that is giving you problems...
