I'm trying to retire one of my DC's and during dcpromo i'm getting a "new credentials" box with the error:
"The operation failed because the attempt to configure the machine account GIS$ on
server <different-DC-server>.company.com failed. 'Access is denied'. Specify an account with Enterprise Administrator privileges to the forest 'company.com'."
And then there are three labels with three textboxes, one for the username, and another for the password and the third for the domain.
I am trying to run dcpromo from the Administrator account, which is a member of the Enterprise Admins group. Shouldn't that cover it?
