Domain Controller Issue

by jtatum65 . Updated 23 years, 7 months ago

I have recently upgraded a WinNT server to Win2k. I am wanting to use this server as a web/email server. But when I try and do a dcpromo to make it a child domain in the forest all i get is this error….

The operation failed because:

The Directory Service failed to create the object CN=PGCI,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=MACOMBINSURANCE,DC=com. Please check the event
log for possible system errors.

“An attempt was made to add an object to the directory with a name that is alreadyin use. ”

I have researched the MS knowledgebase and found a couple documents but the solutions didn’t fix my problem.

Can anyone help?
