SYMPTOMS
========
A user account logged on as a Server Operator is able to highlight the Primary
Domain Controller (PDC) in Server Manager and successfully initiate a
"Synchronize Entire Domain," but receives "Access Denied" when attempting to
synchronize a single Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to the PDC.
WORKAROUND
==========
To synchronize the user account database of a backup domain controller with its
primary, from the command prompt at the console of the BDC, issue a: "net
accounts /sync".
For a synchronization of machine accounts and user account information, use the
"Synchronize Entire Domain" selection in Server Manager.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server versions 3.5,
3.51, and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
