rakem Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 we have one domain name with multiple sites, we have recently upgraded a server, which included changing its name.Now the NTDS Settings for one of the DC of a site has gone, which means there is no replication between this site and anything else. The server in question is a DC and also a GC, it was the only DC in the site. It is even missing from the Domain Controllers Group in Active Directory, i managed to manually add it back into that group but this has not helped at all. I really need help on this, i cant understand how the NTDS settings went missing. Can anyone please suggest any fixes for this please!!!thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 If the server held all of the FSMO roles, this will happen (and thus you should always have FSMO roles spread out when possible, and also have multiple copies of the GC in a domain as well!!!). You'll need to use ntdsutil to get the roles seized onto another server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakem Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 this server did not hold any roles at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Was it the only DC in the site, or in the domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
