Change stand alone server to PDC

[Tony Liu]

Hi,

The PDC server is down suddenly. There is no any BDC in domain. How can
I change a stand alone server to PDC in the domain and configure the domain
network?

Remarks:
Windows: Most of servers are Windows 2000 servers. Some servers are Windows
NT 4.0
The crashed PDC server is Windows NT 4.0

Thanks,
Tony Liu

You have to reinstall NT 4.0 as a PDC you can not change a standalone to a
BDC or PDC. If you do not have backup of the PDC you are really screwed.
Even if you install a new PDC, with out a backup or a BDC to replicate the
user database you will basically have to rebuild your entire network.
