Are you sure it is the PDC you usually get that error when promoting BDC's up to PDC's or I've had that one anyway. Have a look at Q291196 on technet that has some stuff but only if it is a BDC? -----Original Message----- From: slymax [mailto:groups@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 3:25 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: usrmgr - cannot find dc Thanks for the suggestions... I installed WINS on this PDC and pointed it back to itself. The problem still exists, though. I cannot open User Manager or Server Manager. I'm able to ping by ip and computername, though. Any other thoughts? I noticed I'm getting event ID 3096 on bootup, a netlogon message about not being able to find a DC.
