Hello All,

I have a problem with one of the PDC's at the office, it crashed a few days ago and now it wont login to the domain, we have a BDC.

Now when i try to logon using the user name and password it says unable to find domain controller, when i try to log into it with cach user name and password it wont let me in either.

I have used ERD to reset the password of the admin account and still wont let me log on. When i boot up using ERD i get internet connection and everything, the machine still have the same ip address as before any one get any ideas on this?????

When you say PDC do you mean an NT4 domain??? Or a 200x domain?

Why in God's name did you reset the password with ERD?

If you aren't planning on fixing the "PDC" as you call it, you will need to move the FSMO roles over to the "BDC".

You probably are having issues because DNS is non-existent; Active Directory relies on DNS. It would have been installed on the first domain controller.
