I have an issue with an AD DC that crashed last week, and the recovery from it has been somewhat messy.
We replaced the server with a new one, and because the server crashed, we obviously had no chance to run DCPROMO.
I went to the MS site and read up about this. Used NTDSUtil to remove the server from the site. Worked 100%. Then went to ADSI Edit and removed the DC from there...
I have run the DCPROMO on the new server and things have gone haywire. The server seems to have completed the PROMO but, I get the following error when I check event viewer:
"The account-identifier allocator failed to initialize properly. The record data contains the NT error code that caused the failure. Windows 2000 will retry the initialization until it succeeds; until that time, account creation will be denied on this Domain Controller."
I have tried to run DCPROMO on the box using the domain admin ID and it keeps giving me "Access Denied" errors when it start the process...
anyone ever seen this kind of thing?
