I have a new server from Dell. I started to set it up right out of the box. This is the first time I have setup a 2008 server. I obviously did something incorrect.
When I try to open the Active Directory, I get the following message: Naming information cannot be loaded because: The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.
The computer name is: Server. It is in the workgroup: WORKGROUP. When I try to change the workgroup to the domain that I want this server to be the domain controller of, I get the following message: An Active Directory Domain Controller for the domain LOADERPARTS.local could not be contacted.
This will be the only server on the domain. It will be the domain controller, hosting the DHCP and DNS. Other than that, it will be storing Quickbooks files, and company data documents.
Does anyone have any suggestions that I can use to get this back to where I need it to be?
Thanks.
