Unable to create Active Directory user account

[Charlie Ting]

Question: Windows 2000 domain environment. Two domain controllers. DC1 box
(master role) and DC2 box. When you create user account on DC1, it works
fine and replicates to DC2. When you create user account on DC2, error
occurred after you hit create: Windows cannot set the password for user
because: the specified Active Directory object is not bound to a remote
resource. Any ideas?

We promoted DC1 to master role few weeks ago. I don't know if something i'm
missing.

It sounds like you could have a problem with rid on the local dc. You
should run dcdiag against it and see if there are any messages relating to
it.

Look for fail, error and warning errors.

If you don't have the tool installed load them from your install disk.

d:\i386\adminpak.msi (Server tools for remote management of servers)
d:\support\tools\setup.exe (Server Utilities)

Copy the following to a cmd file and run look for error, fail and warn
within the reports. Post any errors you can't figure out. make sure you
modify DC_Name to the name of a dc in your domain.

@echo off

c:
cd \
cd "program files\support tools"

del c:\dcdiag.log
dcdiag /e /c /v /sC_Name /f:c:\dcdiag.log
start c:\dcdiag.log

other than demote and dcpromot it again.

Try adding this to the previous script I gave you

netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log
start c:\netdiag.log

repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
start c:\repl.txt
