Adding a second DC over a VPN connection

C

Chris

Hi everybody


Here is my problem:

I have a remote Win2k domain 1 DC there. I have an other office were I
would like to install
a new DC. The link between HQ and the office si a VPN over internet. The VPN
is site to site
using two PIX firewalls.

I can join the domain with the second PDC. After joining the logon is very
slow.
If I try to run the dcpromo command I am getting this error:

"Error - The Directory Service failed to create the server object for
CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=cocosDC5,CN=Servers,CN=HQ,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=cocos,DC=
com on server cocos_DC1.cocos.com. Please ensure the network credentials
provided have sufficient access to add a replica. (1908)
08/12 16:36:37 [INFO] NtdsInstall for cocos.com returned 1908"

What would be the reason for this error I am geting ?
Thank you in advance
Chris
