Domain Controller Issues - Urgent Help

[bcurran]

Due to some issues with a failed domain controller upgrade to new
hardware, I am having an issue with my domain controllers. I demoted
one of my DCs after this upgrade and had many issues. I restored the
DC from backup, however now that DC does not appear in the Domain
Controllers group under AD Users and Computers. My question is, can I
just run DCPROMO again to make it a domain controller again. I have
another DC that is functioning and is authenticating users and
allowing for Exchange mail delivery just fine. The only issue I have
is that when our users change their passwords, through Netware, and
try to sync them with windows, their Windows accounts keep getting
locked out.

Can anyone offer any suggestions here. When I did my restore more then
a week ago, I did not do an Authoritative Restore as I did not know I
should do that. Any help is greatly appreciated and I will elaborate
if necessary, just let me know.

Thanks,

Bill
