When I try to select 'This is the only server in my network' when trying to install AD I get the following error msg: 'Because one or more other servers already exist, you cannot configure this server as the only server on the network'. How do I find and remove the other servers?
 
Before installing AD disconnect the network cable from your server.
After installing connect again.
 
if i'm not wrong... you can't do dcpromo if cable is disconnected...

bentpin: Are you wanting to create a new domain ??
do you already have a domain? if so, is this server a member?

I faced the same problem while I tried to configure a server and create a new domain in a brand new network. Any recommendations?
 
GerritR - thanks for the tip, it worked out great!
