Hello everyone,

I am having a problem with an SBS 2003 upgrade. Briefly, the situation
is as follows:

Our previous IT infrastructure consisted of an NT primary domain
controller, and a backup domain controller which was also a BDC. I was
asked to consolidate these tasks on to one server running SBS 2003. For
various reasons, my manager stipulated that the NT4 domain name must
not be changed. As a result, my upgrade process was as follows:

1) Install temporary NT4 server on spare hardware, and make BDC
(tempserver)
2) Promote to PDC
3) Upgrade to 2000 and install Active Directory
4) Install SBS 2003 on new server (newserver)
5) Join 2003 server to new AD domain

This all went reasonably well, however I have now hit a brick wall. The
domain is not syncing, and when I try and force a sync I am told "the
network request is not supported". Some googling suggests that this is
a trust issue, perhaps related to the secure channel used by the DCs to
sync. I have tried resetting this using netdom, but to no avail.
Something in the event log which might be pertinent is the error "The
RPC server is unavailable". I have verified that the tempserver and
newserver can both ping each other, so there is definitely a network
route between them.

My questions are:

Am I correct in thinking this is a trust issue?
If so, how can I successfully reset the trust?
And if not, does anyone know what it could be?

I've got Event Logs, output from dcdiag and numerous other bits and
pieces that I can post if necessary. In fact, dcdiag suggests there are
quite a few errors with the AD setup.

I will be extremely grateful if someone can advise me on where to go
from here, as I must confess to being completely stumped! I would very
much like to reinstall the 2003 machine from scratch, however this is
not an option.

Many thanks,

Mike
