Promoting a 2000 as an additional DC
Lockedi have a single domain forest that supports 500 users, i have in total 18 sites (all connected by a x.23 WAN) each site has its own DC as the WAN links are very slow (64k each) the DC also acts as a file server and a local DHCP server and a global catalogue etc… i had an issue with one of the DC’s on a site so i demoted it and then i tried to repromte it, but when i came to repromoting it it failed with
unable to modify computer account for ‘computername$’ access is denied
i disabled netlogon on all but 1 of the DC’s
i did the user rights delegation fix (as recommended by MS) deleted the computer account unjoined it from the domain and tried again but to my horror it keeps on coming back with the same error message no matter what i do, i even built a new 2k srv and tried to pormote that but same thing, any ideas?
