Synchronization

Are there two PDCs in your network? This can happen if you have had a situation where a PDC was offline for a period of time and you have promoted a BDC to PDC in the interim. When you bring the PDC back online, it is still seen as the PDC and youhave to demote the old BDC (which is now a PDC) back to BDC. If you look in server manager, do you see a PDC and a BDC or two PDCs. This would be the first thing to check. If this is so, you need to demote one of them (preferably the original BDC) back to BDC and then you should be OK. Hope this helps!

Before you do anything else, go to your Primary Domain Controller and Open Up Server Manager. This will tell you what systems are on the Domain and what type of server it is, i.e. Windows NT Primary, Windows NT Backup / Workstation or Server. If you have 2 systems designated as the Primary, then you have to Demote 1 of them. Hope this helps

1. Suggest on your PDC goto "Server Manager" & see the PDC Name.
2. Click on the PDC name & right click to "Synchronize" domain.
3. If you still get the error of PDC not found or two PDCs available, crash teh BDC creating errors & ecreate it againafter formating HDD & installing NT.
Else it could cause lots of problems on your domain as users may not get synch & untimately unable to logon to th network.
