Hi,

On my journey to upgrading my domain, I need to promote my bdc to a pdc.

It gives me the error message: acces is denied

Any suggestions?

Hi Neil,

This is the only thing that comes to mind at the moment:

197488 Access Denied When Synchronizing or Promoting a BDC
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=197488

Check to make sure the following files are the same date/size on both BDC
and PDC and not that DC has older versions of the files than the other one:

Samsrv.dll
Samlib.dll
Lsasrv.dll
Services.exe
Msv1_0.dll
Winlogon.exe

If one is older than the other one, then re-apply the Service Pack.
