hi all,

I am having a problem install active directory on a newly install member
server. Using dcpromo the operation fails with the following
The Operation Faild Because:
failed To Modify The Necessary Properties For The Machine Account
PRODUCTIONSERVE$ "Acecess Denied"

any help would be gratefully received

Regards

Peter
 
see:
When you run Dcpromo.exe to create a replica domain controller, you receive
the "Failed to modify the necessary properties for the machine account.
Access is denied." error message

thanks for the prompt reply. fixed the problem, somehow the delegation
policy had been changed, changed it back and now can promote the server.
