Our office had our main AD server die today. Is it possible to add a domain controller to a domain when the primary has died?

Am I even in the correct thread? :psyduck:

Probably not the right thread.
But regardless: Google how to sieze FSMO roles. It's not too hard

We don't want to seize the FSMO role as we don't wan to replace the primary just add another secondary. Does that make sense? If you can think of a more appropriate thread please point me in that direction! Thanks!

This is not how a modern AD works. Go ask in the thread Docjowles linked.

It is 2003, so not modern. Thank you for the quick link I'll check there!

It's not NT4 with the PDC/BDC design, it's modern.

I realized that after the fact. I really do appreciate the clarification.
