Hi Guys,
Has anyone seen the following behavior from a bdc?
I had a backup domain controller in one office which was being used to mirror our production DB. I transported it to a different location. Now i can’t see it on network neighborhood. Ican ping to it fine and can connect to it via ip but not by name. I also get an error(network path cannot be found) when i try to sync it with the pdc. The strange thing is that i have another bcd at that office and if i try to re-sync it on it(server) it does. But once i go to our main office where the pdc is it doesn’t The only PC’s that see that server are where the server is located.
Here are some of things i have tried already
I changed the ip to match our the offices subnet.
i removed it from the domain and re-added back from server manager.
I added WINS
I de-installed the NIC’s drivers and re-seated the NIC.
i check the connections they all seem fine.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appriciated
Thanks!
