Installing Active Directory (NTFRS.EXE)

by davisins . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

I hope I can explain this correctly. I recently installed Win 2000 Server Full version. I want to set up a DOMAIN rather than a workgroup so that I will have all of the security that a DOMAIN offers. I am running a Netgear RT 314 Router that runsNAT & DHCP. When I run DCPROMO and install Active directory after the install is finished I get a message that it can’t find the files needed for File Replication Service. I assume this means it can’t find the file NTFRS.EXE.

Additionally, Iloaded Win 2000 server from the 4 floppy disks and upon loading the OS there were many files that were not on the CD or else some other issue was present. Following are a list of a few of the files that the install couldn’t find.
1. eudcedit.exe
2. jet500.dll
3. ntfrs.exe
4. sam.vc
5. appser~1.cls

There were many other files that could not be located and to long to list here. What in the world am I doing wrong.

My ultimate goal is for a single DOMAIN for Win 2000 Server and also to run RRAS for incoming connections and to create a VPN for incoming internet connections.

NTFS is the partition.

Please Help
