Hi , I am having an issue since a month and would like some help or guidelines.

I had some Hard disk failures and had to move my ESXi machines to another hosts. Since I moved them back to the server after fixing the hard drives, having tons of issues on a Domain controller which has all the FSMO roles. I can not search the server via host name. All my replications stopped. DNS is not working either. Machines go off the domain by giving the Trust relationship error and I have to move them to Workgroup and put them back on the domain. Can not add any Domain Controller as it can not see the main controller. Thought of Seizing the role but scared that if the problem is the DNS than Seizing the role might make the issue greater.

This DC is also providing LDAP services but when I went to the roles, AD Light weight services are not even installed. So I am confused , how come it is providing LDAP.

Any help would be appreciated.

How many domain controllers do you have?

Have IP addresses of your AD servers possibly changed? What process did you use to move them to new hosts?

Can you post the output of the following commands which should be run from any of the DC’s:

netdom query fsmo

repadmin /replsummary

dcdiag /c /v (the output of this will be long!)
