Hi there,
I am currently onsite and have run dcpromo to remove AD
from a server at a remote site and have rebooted and that
seems ok. I am now running dcpromo again to add it to the
existing domain at HQ. The VPN is up and running and I
can view a share on the HQ server.
The administrator passwords are the same at each site. I
have setup DNS at the remote site as a secondary DNS and
pointed a forwarder at the HQ servers IP address as the
primary and that appears ok.
However during the AD install process here at the remote
site I get the screen:
Active Directory Installation Wizard
Summary
Database Location....
Logfile Location.....
SysVol Location......
Click Next
Which I did and it gave a further box saying:
Configuring Active Directory.
Then it popped up a box:
New Credentials
The operation failed because: failed to modify the
necessary properties for the machine account SERVER01$.
Access is denied.
Type the Username and Password of an account with
sufficient priviledges to create an additional domain
controller for the mcdaderoberts.local domain.
Prompts for:
Username:
Password:
Domain:
The SERVER01 is the server at the remote office. Surely
the Administrator account should have the correct rights
especially when they are both the same pwd at each site.
Any help is really appreciated
Many thanks Sam.
