URGENT !! PDC no more available

[Alberto Brivio]

Dear All,

I have a big problem with trust relationship !!!!

This is because the PDC seems to be no more available , other domain member
cannot reach it to replicate AD information

Besides, if I try to connet by "my network places" it returns an error like
"logon failure: target account is incorrect"

This problem stops all activities and I don't know how to re-establish
normal behaviour.

Anyone of you could give me an help?

Alberto! Ciao!

What Trusts? Are you talking about domains in the same
tree? Are you talking about Trusts between WINNT 4 and
WIN2000 AD?

I would install that Support Tools on your WIN2000 AD
Domain Controllers ( well, actually, all your WIN2000
Servers! ). The Support Tools are located in two places:
on your WIN2000 Server CD in the Support | Tools folder
or on the WIN2000 Service Pack CD in the Support | Tools
folder. I would take the Service Pack CD if possible.

Make sure that all of the FSMO Roles are available (
there are five: two are at the Forest level and three
are at the Domain level - and these apply to each and
every domain in the Tree / Forest ).

If you are having problems with WINNT 4 - WIN2000 AD
Trusts then consider using NETDOM to create the Trusts.
You just need to make sure that WINS and DNS are correct
and that all appropriate users /groups are members of all
appropriate groups.

HTH,

Cary
