hallo,
i have read a lot about PDC and ADC. One think is still not clear to me.
Let say my PDC will go away and ADC will be the only server on my domain
remaining. How will i promote ADC to PDC before installing new server, or
how to install new server to connect it to ADC and make it PDC? (the goal is
to have network again in the same configuration like before PDC went
away...)

hope you understand what i need

thank you

W2K doesn't 'have' PDC's anymore, that was something from the NT4-time, so
history. But what has this got to do with SBS?
What kind of servers do you have?

whereever you read PDC or ADC in a 2003 or 2000 paper/book I would ignore.
These are multi-master models and all domain controllers are DCs, period.
IF you have no more DCs in your domain, you have no more AD and need to
build it again. There are 5 master roles and a GC that need to be
considered as well. I would suggest before screwing with a multi DC domain
to take a course (hands on bootcamp) in lieu of reading books as this is
UNLIKE NT4
