Ya'll would be better off moving these new topics to a new thread if you want some fresh responses :) /Siddharth

So as per the error message, ya'll have FRS problems. What errors do you see in your FRS logs? /Siddharth

Restore just the file system information for the group policy and not the AD Container. Then open, modify and close your policy. This will sync the DS and FS versions of the GP and you'll be good to go (as long as everything else was working before :) /Siddharth

This doesn't have anything to do with logging events. Make sure your forward lookup zone it set to Allow Dynamic Updates: Yes. Right click on your forward lookup zone for your internal namespace and click on properties. You have no need to host your service providers namespace in any way...

How long have you let it sit at the screen? How big was your DIT file? And is this the same hardware that you are restoring to? /Siddharth

What server are you connecting to when you try to remove the Directory Service Agent (DSA)? Make sure to connect to a good DC and not the DC which you are trying to remove from the domain. /Siddharth

Are you now able to ping both directions by fqdn and ip address? /Siddharth

Somewhere between your client and server, ICMP is being blocked. ICMP is used to determine link speed and blocking it anywhere along the path will break GPs. Check all routers along the path. /Siddharth

Your 2000 machines are the only ones that require a time synch and this should be ready to go out of the box if you have 2000 DC's in the environment. What is timeserver and how is your environment configured? /Siddharth

Try creating the share from the command prompt. 'net share /?' would be a good place to start. /Siddharth

FYI, if you bring up the 2nd DC, and DCPROMO down the 1st DC, the roles will be transfered automatically. No intervention required. /Siddharth

On a related note, there is not Master GC, nor is there a Master DC. /Siddharth

What plan are you going to use to remove the DC. The more information you give us, the better we can help you! /Siddharth

It's not a problem with client licenses, but rather that SBS is meant for SMALL business. This has been hardcoded at the server side to 50, so client CALS won't help. If you need more than 50 machines in an AD, it's time to move to a non-SBS solution. Sorry! /Siddharth
