I specify administrator, and using the Options button, specify the domain instead of the local server during login. Then I specify the administrator and the domain during the dcpromo operation. Shouldn't that be sufficient?

The domain admin account will have the proper authority. Are you logged on as a local admin or domain admin? -----Original Message----- From: Daniel L. Miller [mailto:dmiller@;amfes.com] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 10:55 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Promoting to domain controller I'm trying to promote a member server to a domain server. Running dcpromo, I answer the prompts appropriately, and then I get an error message: Unable to modify the properties for machine account WHATEVER$ Access denied I've entered the (only) administrator password. I've tried making the administrator a member of just about every group. I've tried removing the server from the domain, and then re-joining. I've sucessfully created a new domain on this server as a child domain of my original domain - and then removed that child domain. What is causing this?
