I had a network setup with one machine configed as a PDC. I don't remember if i originally setup the other as a BDC. Anyway, the PDC is no longer available and now i want to make the other ntserver the PDC so i can admin my domain. How do i do this? I hope the answer isn't reinstall nt server. /James

re: BLAZER::MIKELIS
James,
Whether you can do the following or not depends on whether you had set
up your second machine as BDC. If not, start over.
You can promote the BDC to PDC if the PDC is no longer available, or
even if it is still running. Just go into server manager for domains,
click on the BDC, then use the pulldown menu to promote to PDC.
Cheers,
/Bill
