RPC Server is unavailable

I have one server (srv1) in my domain running Win 2K Advanced Server. I added a second server (srv2) also running Win 2K Advan Srv and I am trying to transfer the operations roles from srv1 to srv2. I first need to connect to the Domain Controller and when I try, it gives me the error:

“The domain controller srv2.corp.domainname.com was not validated because: The RPC Server is unavailable.”

What do I need to do in order to connect to it?

The end result I am looking for is to get rid of srv1 and transfer all the roles to srv2 so it can act as the domain controller and login server.

Please help! Thanks a lot!
