Chuck, Is it still an issue in 2.5.2? Mark -----Original Message----- From: "Robinson, Chuck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2006 18:21:38 To:<[email protected]> Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] FYI: W2K3 SP1 & VMWARE issue Sorry to revive this one from the archives, but it's been haunting me. I've experienced the same issue when trying to promote a standalone W2K3 SP1 server to a domain controller. In an attempt to further uncover the root cause of this nuisance I would like to add the following. This problem seems to affect Windows Server 2003 SP1 VM's running on VMware Workstation and ESX, even though ESX doesn't use shared folders (haven't tested on GSX). If the VMware Tools Shared Folders component is installed on a VM running on ESX (not default VMware Tools installation on ESX hosted VM's) the issue still raises its ugly head. Also, a Windows Server 2003 (no SP1) standalone server with the Shared Folders option installed does not experience this symptom. So, the question is what changed in Windows Server 2003 SP1 that is causing this symptom/problem? And is it Shared Folders or something in Windows Server 2003 SP1 that is incompatible with Shared Folders.

The issues described are: * Adding additional W2K3SP1 DCs to the forest * Creating trusts from a W2K3SP1 forest to another forest (does not matter which OS) Both the issues are described here: http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/archive/2005/11/14/60.aspx http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/archive/2005/12/18/297.aspx http://www.activedir.org/article.aspx?aid=75 This time a was setting up an environment with a w2k forest and a w2k3 sp1 forest. When setting up the trust I received the error we discussed a while ago (see articles above). A few days ago someone posted which component caused this issue. The component in error seems to be the Shared Folder component from Vmware (at least in Vmware Workstation). This time instead of changing the password of the administrator account, I deinstalled the Shared Folder component and rebooted the DC. After that I was able to create the trust without any problem. So, the Shared Folder component from Vmware does seem to be the root cause of this.
