How to restore Active Directory from BDC to PDC ???

T

Tu A.Nguyen

Hi network expert !
I'm using Windows 2000 Advanced Server on 2 servers. One is Primary Domain
Controller (PDC) and the other is Backup domain controller (BDC).
Now, my PDC is down but the BDC is still working. Please help me to restore
the Active Directory from BDC to PDC. I've reinstalled Win 2K Adv Server on
the PDC.
Thanks for reading.

Tu Nguyen.

Hi,

IN Windows 2000 there is no such thing as a BDC or PDC, simply DCs. There
are 5 FSMO roles that can be held by a DC and if the DC that held these
roles went down you may need to seize these roles. See 255690 HOW TO: View
and Transfer FSMO Roles in the Graphical User Interface
