Goto the Windows 2000 server you wish to make a domain controller, click Start / Programs / Administration Tools / Configure your Server.

Select Active Directory from the list on the left.

On the right you will see a link "Setup your server as an additional domain controller.

Supply Error message!

This is a DNS problem. Make sure all the settings in your TCP/IP properties are set correctly (especially DNS). After that, go to command prompt and type: ipconfig /flushdns. After that type : ipconfig /registerdns. Reboot your machine and log on as local admin. Add your machine as a DC using dcpromo. In the domainbox do not type the FQDN for the domain. Just type the domain name. Hope this helps. :)
