911 - Accidentally Deleted The Account For My Pdc In Active Directory

**Maximus2111** · August 23rd, 2007, 05:29 PM

long story summed up -
i had a PDC & 2 BDCs - all win2003 server standard (small environment)
[i'm new here & the guy b4 me didnt leave any docs...kinda learning as i go]

My PDC died....didnt know it was a PDC at the time
i loaded up windows 2003 server on a desktop
loaded active directory told it to replicate...it did

everything was fine (or so i thought)....until today
i was having issues with synching the 2 BDCs
i was going thru my event logs & saw that both BDC's were still trying to synch with the dead PDC

i figured i just remove the name of the PDC from the list of domain controllers
EH!!!! wrong!!! now nobody that doent have a cached local account can login

is there anyway that this can be undone???

i was able to get the old DC up and running although i dont for how long

if this cant be undone is there anyway i can "clone" the old PDC onto replacement?

the guy b4 me had WinNT & just did upgrades

I think im kinda boned

any hlep is greatly appreciated
