Windows Server 2003 to 2008; lost users
-
Wednesday, January 30, 2013 4:27 PMRecently upgraded a Windows 2003 server to 2008, everything was fine but suddenly all the users under active directory are gone. However, all users can still login and access the domain. Any ideas as to why I can no longer see the users in active directory?

just to make sure. Use the adsiedit tool check the users and groups.
ADSI Edit (Adsiedit.msc) is an MMC snap-in. You can add the snap-in to any .msc file through the Add/Remove Snap-in menu option in MMC, or just open the Adsiedit.msc file from Windows Explorer. The following figure illustrates the ADSI Edit interface. In the console tree on the left, you can see the major partitions Domain, Configuration, and Schema. The figure shows the Builtin container of the Contoso.com domain selected. In the details pane on the right, you can see the Builtin groups of Active Directory..

Also you can install the RSAT tools on the other server or the client and check the behaviour
