Whats the best thing that i can do here ?
PDC It’s not booting. Goes through some of the POST then stop after detecting the SCSI devices. It’s way louder than normal too and so old it’s tough to trouble shoot. I’m having to take it apart at present.
Both UPS devices up here are presenting with battery problems so it’s likely been a power spike that brought down the server. It affected the Terminal server as well but that came up itself.
If we can’t get this fixed we may have to look at an emergency way of promoting an existing server to a domain controller. It’s an NT4 domain, but we wouldn’t be able to migrate the existing information. I’d not be wanting to create a new domain and have to go around adding all the computers to it if I could avoid it. Even if I can get this back up and running it will definitely be a case of phasing that PDC out and upgrading the domain to something else. There’s a spare 2003 server computer here so whats the best way we can do this.
