Schema Master and Domain Naming Master down

G

Gandalf

Here is the scenario I am trying to get around.
I had a win2000 server(A) which was the first domain
controller in my forest. A few weeks later, I installed
another win2000(B) box in a new domain but in the same
forest. Now since then, we used the domain on B quite
often. However, the server A, which was the schema Master
and the Domain naming master crashed just a few weeks ago.
This means that I have lost my Enterprise Admins group and
Schema Admins group. Now, when I try to seize the Schema
master role from the server B, it gives me insufficient
access errors.

Anybody has any clues how to get around this?

Thanks

If server A was the only server for the forest root domain, then I'm afraid
that if you don't have backup you just lost your forest. This means
rebuilding forest root + other forest domains. EA and SA accounts are only
defined on forrest root domain.
