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?

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.

Thanks,
Steve

That is exactly what I would think...or if the Wins is on the same
server as the DC you should still have an entry in Network settings
pointing back to itself...a lot of people leave this out. JK

Check WINS.  DC record may be screwed up.
