Have a NW 5.0 server (let's call it server A) with the dreaded -663
error, can't open the NDS databases. Normal attempts to resurrect
failed. Other files on the sys volume seem fine, so damage seems
confined to NDS DB.
Found a second server (server B) that was recently retired that had a
perfect and up to date tree and promoted it from R/W to Master. Goal is
to somehow wipe out the bad DB on server A and restore it from server B.
The data on the server A is critical. They have no recent backups.
Wishing to not lose access to the data volumes on Server A, how do I
properly go about wiping the DB? Take server B offline and then delete
NDS from Server A? Then reinstall with an empty tree and merge them?
I'm worried about losing the definitions of the data volumes on the
server?
Called back in by former employer to save them from themselves.
