Hi Jennifer, I also had this happen to me at a remote site back in 2001 when I was implementing AD for Slamdunk Networks.. We found that the latency time was high... even though we had an IPSEC tunnel going through a full T1 at one site to a 10 MB pipe at Coporate. Try doing this on a weekend or late at night when the network is less utilized and see if that helps.
What I ended up doing is building a DC at our HQ and shipping it to them. I am really glad that Microsoft came out with the new DCPromo / ADV switch for 2003.

I don't understand why it keeps giving me a service hasn't started due to timeout error while it's creating the service account. I have done this before at our remote site in sweden so I am baffled. :( Thank you for your time!

Replace the Cisco 1760 with a Sonic Wall. ( Just Kidding ). How about doing a system state backup of your local DC,transfer the file to the remote server, then promote your DC using the switch that tells it to use the system state file? Just a thought.

Works fine, I can get to servers, etc. While I get the DCs configured, I am trying to get my users to authenicate using a DC at corp site (trying to do all of this remotely - setup the Dc, etc). I am faced with two issues - none of my clients to log into the domain from the remote and the DC that I am configuring there keeps timing out before it is done installing AD. I have a bucable modem (1m down 768 up) Does anyone have any pointers on what I need to do to make this happen? Thanks for any advise :( Kind Regards, Jennifer Fountain Systems Administrator/Security R&B Distribution 3400 E Walnut Street Colmar, PA 18915 ************************************************************************ ********* The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
