MAJOR AD Corruption on new server - HELP!


hi

we in process of installing new server today. here scenario:

 

old server - server 2k3

new server - server 2k8 enterprise

 

we installed win 2k8 on new server, gave server different ip address , name old server. new server direct replacement old server , take name , ip address later on.

 

we ran dcpromo on new server, set dns, copied files. backed printers , shares old server, , moved them across. transferred fsmo roles old new shut down old server. new server restarted after transfer. ip address changed , name changed (from old new)

 

this problem. ad corrupt. ad sites , services, users , computers , domains , trusts domain unavailable. servername , dns both show name new, when run dcdiag reporting homeserver new on other entries (such default-site-first-name) servername old.

major issue dcpromo has been run on old server (so ad no longer present) , when try , run dcpromo again bring ad reports domain not available.

does have ideas how fix this?

cheers
