comment Can not join additional domain controllers
I removed everything pointing to the old server and made sure of that using reverse dns lookup. using ntdsutil.exe I could only find the second server as the domain controller, I seized and transfered all the roles to it and cleaned up all caches but no use. dcdiag reported that replication had been incomplete. I gave up retrieving data from the old domain and promoted a new one.

BTW, dcdiag utility toled me that the replication had an error and it is not complete. BUT I'm sure that user, machine credentials have been replicated and this is sufficient info for me. I don't need anything more.

comment Can not join additional domain controllers
Chris, thanks a lot for your reply. followed your advise and during the ntdsutil, the only server was update.domainname.A.B (remember the old PDC is completely down), hence, it couldn't delete its own data in the last step ("Remove selected server" command). I seized all the roles to the update.DOMNAME.A.B and trasfered every role to it. in local login, I see this server as the only DC for my domain but I still have the previous joining problem. BTW, I searched for reverse DNS of the old pdc and it didn't return any result.

comment Primary domain controller has crashed, secondary does not log in
I set the DNS on the second server to point to itself but it does not log in domain account. Using NTTAC auth. I did a test and now I'm sure that all user credentials have been replicated on the second server. I'm wondering why I can not make it independent from the dead server
