I have a domain controller running Windows Server 2003 Standard. When I try to add an additional domain controller to my existing domain, I get the error message “The operation failed because Active Directory Wizard could not create the NTDS settings object for the domain controller………..
Ensure the provided network credentials have sufficient permissions.
“The RPC server is unavailable”
After several retries, the error changed to :
The operation failed because The AD Installation wizard was unable to convert the computer account SERVER2$ to a domain controller account. “Access is Denied”
I have run out of ideas and I desperately need to add a domain controller to my network.
