Windows 2000 Domain Controller Recovery

[faisal_qasimpk]

Dear all,

We are looking for document(s) describing, how to recover from a Master
DC crash. We have valid backups and new hardware, but can't figure out
how to re-build Master DC again. Our Additional DC is working, with
errors related to missing Master DC.

I will be grateful for any useful pointers/documents describing this
process.

Thanks.

so what your saying is that the server that held all the FSMO roles crashed
and is gone?
if that's the case, use the ntdsutil to seize the roles to another server;
that will get rid of those errors

Using Ntdsutil.exe to transfer or seize FSMO roles to a domain controller
