Problem in DCPROMO

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi all,

I have a Win2K domain and forest, with AD mixed mode, 2 sites each one
having a DC, and a relative slow conection. I am doing the upgrading of the
domain to 2003 technology and I have adprep'd successfully de forest and the
domain.

Now, I'm runing the DCPROMO command to join a new DC to domain, Windows
Server 2003. After running and answering to the questions of Active
Directory Instalation Wizard and, aparently, the process seems to run well.
But it stops with the following authentication message:

"
The operation failed because: The Active Directory Instalation Wizard was
unable to convert the computer account <Server-Name>$ to a domain controller
account: "Access is denied".

Type the user name and password of an account with sufficient privileges to
create an additional domain controller for the <Domain> domain.
"

Anyone can help?
Thanks.
Pedro L.
