Hi,

 

I am having an AD environment with 5 DCs.

 

ns1.test

ns2.test

 

ns3.test

ns4.test

 

 

ns5.test

 

FSMO role distribution was pending, so virtually ns1.test had all the roles and was the only DC which had writable partition. While some testing I lost ns1.test. I format ns1.test and tried again to attached to domain, but its giving an error saying "You cannot attach any new DC till the time RID master is down"

 

I have all the other four DCs up and running, but I am not able to attach ns1 again to domain.

 

Even though its an testing environment but it has some critical test result and requirement. I will highly obliged if someone can help me on this.
