OK I have a w2k domian server (only one on the network) serving about 10 workstations. Everything has been working fine, now after a power failure I cant get the dns to work properly, I was getting event id's 4004 and now I am getting event id's5774. I am running dhcp from my router, on the server I checked, and dns server and client is running.

I noticed I was missing ip addreeses in the forward zone, so I deleted it and re-installed that zone. No results, I then deleted the complete DNS entries, and when I re-boot the active directory puts back all the entries, and I still can not logon to the domain from a workstation.

Tomorrow I will try dcdiag and netdiag from my resource CD akthough I have never used them before.

Any suggestions on how I can get this server up and running with out starting over?

If I have 2 I will just de-promote the domain and run stand alone, but I would like to try and fix it if I can.

Are you using an active hub or switch or router? If they are plugged in, chances are you need to reset this device.......simply pull the power from the hub/router for about 2 minutes and then reconnect it....works wonders.
Good luck!

Thanks for the 2 answers, I did in fact re-set the router a few times, but not after re installed the dns zone, and it was as simple as that!!! So I am back up and running, the event id site was also great for help, as it gives more info I find thanmicrosoft! Thanks for the help!
