Check the machine nam in the net configuration (either 95/98, or NT) and change the machine name of the offending system (not the pdc). <p>Jim Collin<br><a href=mailto:Jim@collin.cc>Jim@collin.cc</a><br><a href=

If you have a BDC, it should promote itself to the PDC. Install NT on the box that crashed and promote it back through server manager. If you don't have a BDC... Get one.

BDC don't promote themselves to PDC. PDCs get demoted when you manually promote a BDC to PDC.
