Hi, i'm running Windows 2000 server with AD domain environment.

crashed ?

The easiest and simplest disaster recovery solution is to add a second
DC. Anything else is a waste of time and money.

Cheers,

Hi,

Promote ur Addtional Domain Contorller as a Primay Domain
Contorller by assinging the roles to the addintional domain controller

Use can user NTDSUTIL for the same.

Don't forget about the backups; adding a second DC will help you only if one
DC will fail, but what are you going to do if somebody will delete some
objects from the directory ? (you'll need a valid backup then)
