Two PDC's in Windows 2000 domain

[Jaime]

Hi,

We have a very strange situation in our domain. We have
one DC (Server A) which has all the FSMO roles. Suddenly,
in the event viewer of this DC appeared events 3097
(netlogon) saying that other DC (Server B) is configured
to be the PDC role holder.

We checked Server B and with the ntdsutil tool we found
out that this server has the FSMO roles configured with
itself.

What can we do? Any suggestion?

Thanks in advanced.

This may be an indication of a larger problem but for starters, use
NTDSutil and try and seize the roles to one machine. This may work.
If not, you can always demote one DC get the roles on one machine and
then promote the second DC back up.
