Hi,
I am having some problems with AD on a server i am adding to the
domain. I set up the DC already with the proper DNS zones and gone
through the DCPROMO steps to set this up, which is currently working
with no errors (so far as I know), now i am trying to add another
domain to it but when it goes to the final steps of finishing up i get
an error message saying "the role owner attribute could not be read". I
checked to see if the dns system log was giving me any errors on the DC
but nothing. I looked online to see any possible fixes, and to the most
luck i get that i need to reinstall SP4 but did that already and still
the same thing. Then i read to check the Schema master snap-in and see
who is the master, did that and its my main DC. Any help would be
great. Also quick question while i am here. My main DC is set up with a
standard primary dns zone. My network is about 40 users altogether,
should i set up my second server (the one i am having problems with) as
a stardard secondary? As you can see I am not a advanced Windows 2000
tech, but i am learning thanks you guys.
 
First of all you can use netdiag on the box you're trying to promote to
check if there is anything wrong there.
You can try dcdiag on your existing Domain Controllers and check for errors
(both utilities are in \Support in Windows Server CD)
