I'm trying to add a dc to existing domain, but when I'm running dcpromo on the part in the Network Credentials page (user, password and domain), after that I'm getting the message "The RPC server is unavailable". Am I doing something wrong
Thanks.
 
Load the support tools from your server install cd

d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Run the following from within a cmd file. Replace dcname with the name of
the domain controller you are running this from. This will generate a text
file that will pop up on your screen once completed.


dcdiag /e /c /v /s:dcname /f:c:\dcdiag.log
start c:\dcdiag.log

"RPC server is unavailable" errors are commonly caused by DNS problems.

Verify DNS is working well and DCs are correctly registered in DNS before doing anything else

You can run "netdiag /v /test:dns" to check for DNS issues.
