Radhika, Almost all errors like this are related to some misconfiguration of DNS. Make sure the second domain controller is pointed at your working domain controller for DNS resolution. I have had success in the past running ipconfig /flushdns from command line, and then run ipconfig /registerdns to flush all dns records and reregister the server with your DNS server.

I have also built another Windows 2000 advanced server to act as a backup server. However, when I try to have it as an additional domain controller, it gives me error messages saying that the domain does not exist or cannot be contacted. I am sure that the machine is already a part of the domain and the DNS is also running. Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance, Radhika. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Radhika Kotwal System Administrator, CIT Michigan State University (517) 449 1721 (Cell) Web: http://www.egr.msu.edu/~kotwalra -----------------------------------------------------------------
