I have recently purchased a new server and added it to
the domain all went well. When I transfered the
operations master role to the new server from the one old
one to be removed I lost browser function on the network.
(Background info)However,when I try to demote the old
server (Server1) I get this message [The operation failed
because: The attempt to configure the machine account
server1$ on server server2.Risktec.co.uk failed. "Access
is denied. " Server2 is new server. I have checked the
security settings in the Ntds.dit and the administrator
account is added and the account a memeber of the
enterprise administrator and therefore has the
privalages. any suggestions as to how resolve this.
