Hi everyone,

I plan on reloading a domain controller from scratch because it is having some issues. My question is, is it possible to reload the server from scratch while keeping the same domain name so that all the client pc's don't have to rejoin the domain (thus causing a lot more work)? This is the only server on the network. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Greg

You will need to create another domain controller either on a physical machine or using virtualization. You can find instructions for this at the following link. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555549
These instructions are for win 2k3 but should give you a general idea.
Hope this helps
