Hi Marc, I asked the OP a question that he hasn't answered yet, I asked 
it because he sent an email to Achim, and he replied on list, to which 
the OP took great umbridge. Amongst the post he sent to Achim was this:

# ldbmodify -H 
/root/DC\=DOMAINDNSZONES\,DC\=JNET\,DC\=HERMANJORDAN\,DC\=NL.ldb 
/root/killthese

Now this was only a test, but what if he did it for real, there is a 
good chance he has hosed his setup and will probably never be able to 
upgrade, I personally think his only chance now is to try and join 
another DC and hope it replicates ok, but I wouldn't hold my breath over 
it working.
