DC will not authenticate

I have been working at moving our SBS to new hardware by following
instructions given here. It has been days now, and the structure is barely
standing. I believe that the cause of most of my problems is that the GC and
SYSVOL never did replicate to the new server so that it never did become an
active DC. It certainly was working to the point that I could add a user to
the old server and it would show up on the new server but Exchange never
could authenticate and the System Attendant would not start. Now after
trying to move everything back to the original server, it authenticated
enough to get Exchange running but I cannot make the last change work which
is moving the recipient update service for the domain back. The search
button will not see the domain. It says that the domain does not exist.

I get the following message from netdiag /v.

Domain membership test . . . . . . : Failed
[WARNING] Ths system volume has not been completely replicated to the
local
machine. This machine is not working properly as a DC.

I have spent days trying everything that I could find in msdn and google and
I have come to a dead end. I believe that the sysvol and dns are all fine.
Is there a way to tell the computer this? Thanks for any help.
