Hi, got an issue about an NT server. Heres the lowdown:
2 servers, 1st is a primary domain controller, 2nd is a backup domain controller.
The primary domain controller has basically gone all wrong and is being repaired as I am writing this. The backup domain controller has currently been made the primary domain controller. So in theory when the server is fixed we will have two primary domain controllers.
What I need to find out is, how can I return the orignal backup domain controller (now primary) back to the backup stage? What would happen if both primary domain servers were plugged in at the same time?
In other words, England couldn't have two queens so something would have to be done in order for one to step down as the backup queen.
Hope you get all this and can help!
Thanks

, but I did find a nice MS article on how to go about demoting a NT PDC back to a BDC.
