I'm having a very difficult time with our Active Directory Forest. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Here is what has happened so far:
Our primary domain controller and master operator server crashed and burned with no recovery possible. The backups that we had apparently were corrupt as well.
We have 2 domains on our network in a parent-child relationship. Our parent domain has 4 DCs (now 3) on it. The child domain has 2 DCs. I took one of the 3 remaining DCs on the parent domain and seized control of all 5 roles. I have seen the seizure propogated amoung the other 2 DCs. I enabled DNS and WINS on the new Master DC as well as changed the IP to what the old one was so that I didn't have to change the 400 static IPs across our district to the new DNS/WINS manually.
The problem that we are seeing now is that many of our computers cannot logon to the domain. They get a domain cannot be contacted message. When I go to the MDC I try to verify the domains and get a message that they cannot be contacted for both the parent and the child domain. In the system log I am seeing a lot of event 5722 and 5723 for when the district computers are trying to login. I've reset passwords to no avail.
I've been scouring the Microsoft Kb trying to solve this and am just running into a brick wall. Any assistance in this would be a life saver.
All DCs on both parent and child domain are Win2k Server updated to the newest SP and critical updates.
Thank you in advance.
