Over the past year or so, one of our clients directories has been having some serious Active Directory Synchronisation issues. In the current state, the Active Directory Domain Controller cannot view itself as the PDC, even though the _msdcs Forward Lookup Zone is configured correctly and all FSMO roles have been seized.

This is a virtual machine hosted in VMWare, when trying to promote another domain controller to this domain I get an error in the Server Manager wizard informing me that a Domain Controller cannot be found in this domain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am at my wits end here.
