I am trying to promo a server and I am getting the
following error from one of the other DC.

The directory service failed to create the server object
for ...........Please ensure the network credentials
provided have sufficient access to add the replica.

I am logging in with the domain admin account. The error
pops up while trying to create the server object...it
appears to create it on one of the other dcs but fails on
a particular one everytime. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
John
 
Hi Jonh-

There are a few different things which can cause this. First, I would go to
the server that your machine you are trying to promote is talking to (this
will be in the DCPROMO.LOG). Once there, I would add the Enterprise Domain
Controllers security group to the User Right setting for "Access this
computer from the network" in the Default Domain Controllers policy. Then
reboot the sourcing DC and try the promotion again.

Please repost if this does not help.
