Hi,
I have just built myself a new standalone PC for home and database
development use.
When I first installed Win2K Server I wanted to setup Active
Directory, to learn about and use its securtiy features, but only got
part-way through it before realising I wanted another disk partition
created for the storing of the directory.
I've since installed the SP4 patch.
On Start-up or by using the Configure Your Server applet from
Administrative Tools, the Windows 2000 Configure Your Server dialogue
is activated. I select the "This is the only server in my network"
option and click on the Next button which displays an indication that
Windows will automatically configure this server as a domain
controller and set up Active Directory, DHCP, and DNS on your network.
I then click on the Next button again and it displays the domain names
I originally created. When I click the Next button again the Windows
Components Wizard starts up and I immediately get an error message
titled "Optional Networking Components" with the mesage reading "An
error occurred which prevented the Connection Manager Components
component from being installed or removed. The error was 0x80070006."
and only an OK button. After I click on the OK button it then proceeds
to try configuring some services like IIS and then reboots and when
Windows restarts it displays the same start screen for Configure Your
Server and if I attempt to retry the process the same results occur.
Can anyone give me any clues how to solve this problem please.
Regards Michael
