Active Directory Primary Failure

by "Rowland Costin" <technical@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 13, 2007 at 01:55 PM

Hi

Have a major problem. The raid failed on the Primary Domain controller. 
There was minimal replication set up on the secondary, with all operation 
masters on the primary.  Worse, the hosting company haven't backed up the 
Active Directory. (I know I know).

Anyway, the server has been rebuilt by the hosting company and added into 
the domain as a new server name. I am assuming they couldn't join the
domain 
on the old name as it was still registered on the secondary Domain 
Controller..

Anyway, I need the Primary back as its original name.

I have tried to delete this server using DCPROMO and I get the following 
Message.

The operation failed because:
Active Directory could not transfer the remaining data in directory 
partition CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ts-hosting,DC=co,DC=uk to domain 
controller DS27633.ts-hosting.co.uk.
"Logon Failure: The target account name is incorrect."

I know I am bing stupid and have missed something obvious, but don't know 
what.

Can anyone help. Now its on the domain, is a rename option the best
choice, 
or is it better to remove it from the domain, remove any reference to it 
then add it back to the domain with the correct name?

BTW, its a small 3 server network, with one Terminal server and 2 domain 
controllers and no workstations, (everyone logs in on the Terminal server)

Windows server 2003 R2.

Thanks
Rowland
