There's no PDC/BDC in Windows 2000/2003/Active Directory....all domain
controllers are peers, with a few exceptions in terms of roles....

If the first DC held the FSMO roles, you will need to seize them to another
DC. Also make sure you have set up at least one of the existing DCs
(preferably two) as global catalog servers (GCs)
