I am getting event ID 5511 on my new server.
It was installed as a BDC. Everything was fine the first day and now the error on the BDC.
I found a web site that stated to install a fresh copy on NT server in a different directory and use a different name.
I don't like that option.
Any one have a fix and can point to a web site to fix this annoying error.

Everything else is fine on the server

Hi,
It seems you have installed BDC at the time when PDC was off/Disconnected or when itself was disconnected or it was not sync'ing properly with PDC so As far as Windows NT domains, machine accounts, and trusts are concerned, you have created a new domain may be with the same name or not but with different security ID.
If this is the case then Now both the servers are domain controllers but with different security ID's the only solution I feel is that You have to remove one of the server orreinstall the BDC from scratch keeping both servers connected to network and online.
Regards,
Moiz

Don't know if this will solve your problem but before you reinstall try the NETDOM resource kit utility and see if it can reestablish the secure connection to the PDC.
