Can anyone help please. I am completely stuck with this one.

I have a windows 2003 domain with two domain controllers. (Both with service pack 2 installed).

I have a Dell PowerEdge 1750 with which I have installed Windows Server 2008 sp2 freshly installed with latest drivers etc.

Windows Update works fine while the server is in member mode, but after DCPROMO (yes I have adpreped) I get 80072EFD error. I have checked all knowledge base articles and NONE seem to relate to my problem. Please note I have tried all suggested solutions with no joy.

If I uninstall AD services etc all is working fine again. This is driving me nuts. I have even reinstalled the O/S.

I am justing trying to install a pretty standard windows server 2008 domain controller with dns etc.

If anyone can spread a little light on my problem I would much appreciate it.

Paul Finnemore.
 
HI,

Sounds like its a GPO issue - do you use WSUS?
