Big Domain Problem….

by omarhib . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

Hello There,
I have a big problem with the domain at the company that i work in,,,
This is my first month with the company and in less than 10 days the domain failed 2 times.

The first tme we had 1 dc and i failed, and displayed a message that it couldn’t fond the global catalog for the domain.

The next day i found that the domain is working and i promoted another domain controller and made it the Global catalog and DNS server in addition to the other DNS server we already have.
i’ve cleared the Global catalog check box for the first DC, and it worked and the replication between the two DCs went great. Now after 5 days the two domain controllers failed and it displays a red X in the Active directory Users and Computers and in the Active directory Sites and Services.
None of the employees can logon to the domain, and we are now having a big problem…

All of the servers are Win2k Server and all the clients are WinXP.

Now what would be the cause of this problem and what would be the possible solutions to get ar least one domain to life and with the least possible effort??

Thanx in advance.

Cheers,
