Same domain, same building, no firewall between, only a switch. Different IP’s, DC1 is primary in all cases. All DNS (pings, tests) pass: DC1 to DC2, and DC2 to DC1. AD changes replicate quickly. Contents of sysvol on DC1: 3 policy folders did not replicate to DC2. DC2 created 1 policy which DID replicate to DC1 so now DC1 has all 4. Many tests run, hundreds of pages, so only *test name* run and *failures* follow: (all DC2) ———————————dcdiag (DC2) Netlogons: “Unable to connect to the NETLOGONS share! (DC2netlogon) An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 1203. No network provider accepted the given network path” — Advertising test fails with “Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for DC1 when trying to reach DC2. Server is not responding or is not considered suitable. ——————————— netdiag (DC2) “Domain membership test.. failed.

It is one of 3 domain controllers.
Since the rebuild I’ve not been able to synch the Sysvol, and
I’ve seen dcpromo as an option to demote the
domain controller, move off the Sysvol directory and then repromote back
to a domain controller.

Can I dcpromo to demote and repromote
without effecting it as a print server ?

How can we restaure our Active Directory ?
