BDC is not doing it job

Locked

Our PDC is havning problem and we took it down. After taken of the PDC, the BDC doesn’t kick it. We tried to promote the BDC to PDC, but it just doesn’t log in to any database, server manger, user mananger. What is it that causing problem? We check the even log and see that BDC and PDC is synched fine. What do I need to do to make sure that BDC is doing it job when PDC is down.

The BDC should work automaticly.
Maybe your PDC is also set up as a DHCP server and/or is the only WINS server and thats what makes the problem.

The DHCP and WINS are running in one of the backup Servers.

another thing to check is which system is the master browser. make sure that the master browser has name resolution to all systems you wish to see in the browse list. (either via WINS or LMHOSTS)

neither work, so I’m assuming that this won’t be for my case.
Thank you for all the suggestions.
