My schema master is dead (it was w2k srvr) -
lightning striked into the building and fried all
data on the disk including mobo and all cards
instaled, luckily my backup dc is still alive and
has all user accounts.. tnx god..

Now how do i make my what is currently BDC (i know
this is not correct term but i used to it) to be
my new schema master if old schema master cannot
be contacted any more?

My BDC is w2k3 srver?

Any good ideas?

Plase try to help if You can!

Tenx.

You would seize the role.
