I had a catastrophic failure of a PDC emulator (server01.landenhousecomputing.com). I was able to move the FSMO roles to another DC (seize) (exchange.landenhousecomputing.com). I removed references to server01 from AD Sites Services. I repointed (AD Integrated) DNS to exchange.landenhousecomputing.com. Rebooted multiple times. Since the crash, though,
* No one can connect to Exchange email
* I can't join a machine to the domain
* I can't DCPromo server01's replacement
* If I try to add a reverse lookup zone (AD integrated) for a different subnet, I get the following error:
The zone cannot be created. There was a server failure.
I receive a variety of event log errors (please see the attached).
Also attached are results of DCDIAG.txt, NETDIAG.txt, and a copy of the netlogon.dns (NetLogonDotDNS.txt)
files.
Most of the online help suggests I had tried to do a domain rename. I haven't. Ever.
The exchange server itself is fully functional - it sends and receives (Exch 2003 SP2), and I can connect locally or remotely using webmail. ANY ideas on where to go (besides a hot place) would help.
