PDC Not Listed in Server Manager After Changing Computer Name (131770)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q131770 SYMPTOMS
When you choose the Show Only Domain Members option in Server Manager for
Domains, the primary domain controller (PDC) is not listed. When you clear
the Show Domain Members Only option, the PDC is listed.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you change the computer name of the PDC, but do
not create a machine account for the new name.
RESOLUTION
Follow the instructions on page 164 of the Windows NT Server "System Guide"
to rename the PDC.
NOTE: Step one in these instructions was omitted. Before renaming the PDC,
create a machine account as a backup domain controller ( BDC) using the new
name that will be given to the PDC.
