Hello, I have an issue with a domain controller server that stopped working. I tried for days to repair it but nothing would work. In the end I had to just reformat it. This server was the DC server for a lot of servers. I am not 100% sure how the DC works but I have set up a new DC server with exactly the same IP and names as was previously configured. Can I get all of my servers that was using this domain to connect again without dropping them from the domain and then reactivating them all one by one? All the details configured will be identical that I need to set up. After setting up the DC I have restarted the DC serveral times as well as several other servers but they don't seem to connect. This is a problem because I have forgotten the local authentification for many servers and the documented passwords are not correct. Unless I can get the domain authentification up with the details that are already configured on the server I do not know another way of being able to log in. Please advise. Thanks ------------- I have the ability the upload files to the server and also execute them. So possibly I could upload a few .bat scripts if needed and have them executed.
Im really trying to recreate the trust through command line but I am really struggling here. Can anyone advbise? Thanks
What I need to do: Remove the member from the non existent domain controller (I dont know how to do this from command line) (Needs to be done on the local system) (cmd only) netdom remove /d:DOMAIN SERVER /ud:DOMAIN\Admin /pd:pasword assumed the domain is still active Code (markup): Join the new domain and create the trust. (I know how to do this bit)
Nothing is working. netdom remove /d:domain.invision-gaming.co.uk PROMETHEUS /uo:Administrator /poassword Shouldnt that remove the domain on the server and turn it into a workgroup?
I thought outside the box and fixed it simply by net user Administrator #newPassword38. Although an answer to my question would be helpful.
