RID master on PDC that no longer exisits

[jared71]

Hi Folks,


I was hoping that someone could help me out here. I have a windows 2K AD domain that is having some problems. Early in it's inception, we had a DC that was demoted (failed) and then was rebuilt. Unfortunately, this server was performing the RID master role, so now I am unable to create new user accounts.

I've seen some documentation on using ndsutil to "seize" the rid master role, but this requires me to connect to the current RID master, which no longer exists.

ANy help would be appreciated.
