Permissions on 2nd DC

Hi,

Are you successfully logged into the domain? or locally? And does your account have domain admin privs?

Cheers,
Tim.

I am logged onto the Domain as Administrator.

Are the tools not available, or is access denied when you attempt to open them?
Are the other Active Directory tools available and operating correctly?
What error messages do you see in the System and/or Security log?

Tools are available. Access is denied. Message says You do not have permission to perform this Operation. The file extensions thing has got me really stumped. It's a though I don't have write access to the registry, which I'm gonna check right now.

try this,create a user in master dc and assign admin priv to the user and logon with this user in other dc

You say 2nd DC. If this is correct there is no logging on local. What are your event logs showing? Is your DNS correct? Did the DcPromo run correctly?

Event logs show nothing. DNS is correct. How do I know about the dcpromo part?

I should add one thing. Could be related, maybe not. The internal speaker of the this server beeps randomly. There doesn't seem to be any pattern or frequency and it is only a single "BEEP". It may do it 3 or 4 times in an 8 hour period. I can't figure out why it is beeping.
