Cannot Promote to Domain Controller

D

One DC, two member servers, all Server 2003. Need to promote a member
server to a DC before moving to a remote site.

DCPROMO runs without errors until it returns an "Access is Denied" message
telling me I don't have the correct rights. Also that AD does not have
access to access server "SERVERNAME$"

I find nothing on the 'net about this.

How do I promote this server?

Thanks Cary,

It was the KB ARTicle 232070. Added the users, reboot the DC, and the
DCPROMO worked.

Seems like a bug in Server2003 to me.
