Subject: W2K Server cannot be promoted to be a DC
'Lo, all.
I have a server that I cannot promote to be a domain controller.
Initially I tried to make it a root DC, for a new forest, but ran into
issues, so I have tried to add it to another forest, as an additional DC
(at the root
level.)
The existing DC is new, I built it clean, creating a new forest, last
week. There was one admin acct., no policies, default security, default
permissions, no changes at all.
I then formatted the new box, and installed W2K server. (no SP's on
either
server.) I joined it to the domain, using the administrator account.
No issues.
Then I ran DCPROMO, to promote it. Went through all of the questions,
no issues, until it started to actually promote it. Then I get an
"access denied" error, and it reports that I need to use an account that
has the right to create an additional domain controller. (Exactly as
described in TechNet article Q232070.) However, as indicated, I'm using
the only administrator acct. So, I created a new admin account, and
explicitly gave this account the "Delegation Privilege" right. It made
no difference.
For specifics, the system in question is:
Asus P2B-S system board (Latest ROM, 1012, IIRC))
IBM 4GB UW SCSI drive (don't have the model handy) - OS
Compaq 4GB UW SCSI drive (don't have the model handy) - AD, Logs
P-II 350, 256MB RAM W2K Server
When I tried to promote this box to be a DC for a *new* forest, I get
the same "Access Denied" error, but the logs are slightly different, I
can't recall what the difference was though. There was one TechNet
article that seemed to cover the problem, and it was related to
permissions on either the sysvol folder, or the NTDS folder. I gave
both folders FULL CONTROL for everyone, that didn't matter either. (The
box had just been formatted, with a fresh install too...)
Any thoughts? Thanks,
Tyson Leslie.
