BIG DNS Problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

I have a exch 2003 server running on a 2000 server SP4 all
patches.

I installed a second DC in the network but noticed things
were working strangely when my IWAM account could not
connect to a web server. I decided to remove the AD on
the second server but continue to get DNS errors.

The funny thing is that I can get full DNS resolution from
my DNS servers. When I try to remove DNS it fails stating
that it can't find SERVERNAME$ which to me sounds like a
SYSVOL error.

I had made some rights changes to the NTFS file system on
the first domain controller. Could that be affecting the
current DC.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am not at the machine right now to give you an IPCONFIG
but I am getting SAM errors. I believe the Everyone group
was removed from the root of C on the forest root domain
controller. so i promoted another DC and it let the
promotion go through but it when i go to AD users and
computers on the second DC there is no domain.

I believe what has happened is that there is a problem
with the replication from the sysvol of the forest root to
the sysvol of the other domain controllers. I cannot
figure out how to re-establish the connection. when I try
to establish a connector in Sites and Services no
replication takes place.
