I have a domain controller that I cannot log into locally or get
authenticated from a workstation. I wanted to format the machine and
reinstall windows and run dcpromo on it agian, but I cant remove it from the
domain because I cant login. I had another DC I wanted to demote so I put the
good DC and the bad DC on a switch in our lab to try and force replication of
the sam database (the bad DC was accros a WAN link). Once I put the good DC
on the switch I found out it couldn't log into the domain either. Once I
moved it back to the network it can login and authintcate users again. So now
I am thinking it is not a server problem but a Domain replication issue. Has
anyone had this problem or know an article about this? I don't see any errors
in the event logs that jump out. In the security log it doesn't even show the
bad username password entries.
