Thanks for your help thusfar. I am, however, having trouble with the NETDOM utility. I have never used it before until this incident. I know this is asking you to hold my hand while doing this, but I am desperate to get this done and all the reading, trying, etc that I have done has...
I ended up having to format/reload the system partition. There was no way for me to unjoin the workstations from the domain before doing so. The DC is reloaded/set back up using the same domain name, etc. I am now getting the following message in Event Viewer:
the Event ID: 5513 "Event...
Somehow I managed to delete most of the files in my \WINNT folder along with some of the folders AND some files in the subfolders of WINNT. Even some of the files at root were deleted. The 2000 server is the only server in the domain, thus the lone DC. I have yet to restart the server (I am...
Last night I installed SP1 on all 3 of my 2003 servers. No problems during installation were encountered. On 2 of the servers I can go to the windows update site to check for updates. On the 3rd server, right after it starts checking for updates, I get an error message that says "Windows...
My client has multiple locations across different towns. The network is configured as a single domain. Right now, they are only using the default global address list which shows every user. What they would like to do is create a separate GAL for each location. In other words, you go to the...
I have a Cisco 1723 that is locking up every morning - nothing gets "out" to the internet and nothing comes "in" from the internet. I have to manually cycle the power on it to get it to come back up -- once I do it runs fine until the next morning. It does *not* lock up at the same time --...
I want to stop the "computer browser" service on all my XP workstations in a Win 2003 AD domain. Obviously I want my DCs to continue running the service. How do I do it?

I was using static IPs before (it was setup before I took the network over). I am, however, doing away with the statics & have configured DHCP.
I have one more question -
What is the proper way to remove the old server from the network? Should I demote it to a member server and then pull the...
Please disregard that previous post -- that was a stupid question.. I wasn't thinking when I asked. I have transferred the roles & have shutdown the old server. We are about to see if the workstations can logon.
Thanks again!

Thanks again for all your help. I have one other question. When you say "transfer the FMSO roles" - are you saying to manually set them up on the new server or is there a way to actually transfer them from old to new?
I've learned from you today & for that I say "thank you."

Star for you markdmac!
Thanks for the heads up... I am scheduled to do this today. I have a window from noon to about 4pm to get this done.
Are you talking about a normal login script? If so, I believe I have that covered. If not, please send a sample.
The only reason for keeping the...
I have a small network with one server -- a 2003 DC. The server is performing the roles of File Server, Domain Controller, DNS server, and Print Server. Nothing fancy. I would like this new server to mirror the old one, ie same name & same IP. Once the new server is up & running, the old...
