From: Carl on 2 Feb 2006 10:31 Actually I did run the command you suggested and the results were fine. Here is what I've done yesterday. I demoted the problem server, I installed Windows server 2003 on another computer and promoted it to become a DC in the same domain, and this 2003 server has no problems with obtaining RIDs. I also created a brand new forest/domain with the problem server (2k server) and it didn't have any issues with issuing RIDs to itself (I did this just to check if something went wrong with the OS installation itself). I don't know what to do at this point. Do you know of any known issues with a 2k server being a DC on the same network with other 2003 servers? Then again, I do already have 4 other 2k servers on my production network and they don't have any problems...
