Hi all,

I have an AD domain with 3 Wk2 domain controllers. I try
to integrate a fourth server which is by now a memeber of
the domain.
I always get the following message (sorry, it is a
translation, the original message is not in english) :

Operation failed : Impossible to modify the necessary
properties for the server_name$ computer account.
"Access denied"

Of course, I use a correct admonistrator name and
password.
Does anybody know something about this problem ?

Thanks in advance,
Emphyrio
 
Hi Emphyrio-

Was there a domain controller of that name prior to this? Was it gracefully
demoted and removed?

If there has not been another domain controller of that name, I'd consider
adding the Enterprise Domain Controllers group to the "Enable computer and
user accounts to be trusted for delegation" user right in the Default Domain
Controllers Policy and then rebooting that domain controller(s). Then try
the promotion again.

If those suggestions do not help please repost to let us know.
