I'm running the active directory wizard to add a secondary
domain controller and I'm getting the error

The operation failed because: Managing the network session
with \\FQDN failed "Logon Failure: unknown user name or
bad password."

Ok...I have all the service pack updates...My DNS checks
out...Did the nslookup..I'm useing the Admin account of
the existing Domain Controler to add the new one(thus have
the right privliges)...I know I have typed in the domain
name and password correctly....My Sysvol directory is
shared out..

What the hell is going on here...I'm at my wits end...

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
In the \winnt\debug directory of the machine you're attempting to promote there will be a dcpromo.log and dcpromoui.log - find out what errors are listed in those and post them back here or check the KB or Google.
