DC computer object corrupt on schema


i upgraded windows 2000 dc windows 2008r2.

after demotion of windows 2000 dc changed ip address in new dc has used. restarted , went fine.

i raised domain level, renamed new dc, restarted server , went wrong. i tried open active directory snap-in can't able connect domain controllers. when see adsi edit , checked domain controller objects, domain controller name remains same old. dc holding new name , effected.

i have restored 2000 dc back. since have migrated other services in hard way 2008 dc, still remains on seperate vlan, possible can trouble shoot or change domain controller container objects in safe way on schema?

need tips , tricks. thanks.

is possible - my question?


it's difficult answer question because don't know services , applications have running, procedures move/migrate specific applications , services have installed (need contact vendor specific info see how it's supposed done), errors seeing, etc.

as general suggestion, can suggest to move services , applications old dc, then can start over:

  • install , promote interim dc different name
  • demote old dc
  • rename old dc different name
  • then promote new machine old dc name
  • migrate services , applications old dc new dc
