Can you install AdminPak
on a Win2k Pro or WinXP, and then do the maint from there? An
MMC issue can be very tough to track down, and it sounds like you need to get
this done now.

Rick,
Thanks for the
suggestion, but it still is not working. I tried to run the MMC /A from
Start->Run and the window still closed on me. I am trying to add a site
directly from the DC. When you create a new site it creates the site and is
supposed to create a folder under the site named "Servers". Then when
you run DCPromo it puts the server into the "Servers" folder under
the newly created site. If that "Servers" folder does not exist then
DCPromo or the move will fail. Any other suggestions would greatly be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Sites
and Services Error
This
sounds to be a problem with MMC, which does have a few problems (putting it
mildly). If you run MMC /A from Start->Run and then add the snap-in
for AD Sites and Services, (provided you've added the AdminPak for SP3 - you
HAVE applied the AdminPak for SP3, right? This also assumes you're not
doing this directly from the DC, which means you don't have to install the
AdminPak) as a piece within a new MMC console.
Also,
just to make sure there is no misunderstanding - servers do not magically
appear in sites when a site is created. You must create the site,
associate subnets and protocols / transports with the site, then move a DC to
that site.
As to
the issues that you're having with MMC - yes - I've seen it often.

All,
I am trying to add a new site within
AD and every time I add a new site with in AD Sites and Services the MMC window
completely closes. I open it back up and the site is created, but the server
container underneath it is not created. This happens on several DC's within in
AD. When I try and create anything with in AD Sites and Services the MMC window
closes. I have rebooted and reloaded SP3 and I am still having the same
problem. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so how did you fix it?
Thanks for Your Help,
Brandon
