Server Crashed

[Morley Lee]

I have a Win 2K server that crashed (bad Hard drives). Reinstalled Win 2K
server and restored data to server. Joined back to domain with other win2k
server and exchange server. Performed DCPromo. Everything works expect I
have 2 operation masters, pdc, infra master, and rid master. Anyone know
how to get rid of one. The server that crashed had all the roles assigned.
I transfered roles to the exchange server so that we could be up and
running. However, when I put the crashed server back in it also has the
same roles wioth the same sever name etc. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. I need to remove the roles on one of the server.

Thanks in advance.

You can use "Roles" from "ntdsutil.exe" to transfer or seize the roles.

I've done that. The problem is that it only sees itself and seizes or
transferes to itself. If you use the gui and look at the roles.... the
currecnt role and the change server role are the same server name. You
cannot should the other servers name.
