Hello Everybody,

I need help on the following issue:

- we used to have a Small Business Server (SBS) and another W2000 server (SERVER1) acting as an additional domain controller for an existing domain.
- we had to rebuild the Small Business Server after being attacked by Nimda virus. We rebuilt the server as the first domain controller for a new domain, using its old name and the old domain name.
- after re-installing the SBS, I can not access it from SERVER1.
- I tried to demote SERVER1 by running DCPROMO but it fails. I get errors like:
- Failed finding a suitable domain controller for the domain "domain_name"
- The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

Please HELP.

Thank you,

Doina
