Dears;
I am adding a new domain controller to an existing domain.
I start the dcpromo wizard and going through all its steps, after the
summary I press next, when its start configuring the server account
it ask me again to reinput the username, pwd and domain
showing this error msg.
New Credentials:
" The operation failed because: Failed to modify the necessary
properties for the machine account NORDER01$
"Access is denied. "
Note: I am using a powerful "domainadmis" member users for this
operation
I would ensure that the machine you are trying to join is ONLY using the
DC's DNS server. On the DCs, I would suggest to ONLY use themselves as the
DNS server. Keep in mind, whenever an AD member requires access to an AD
resource, it will ask DNS for it';s location. If an ISP's or any other
outside DNS exists in IP properties that does not have the reference for the
domain resources, numerous issues and failures will occur, such as what you
are seeing. Also if the domain is a single label name, that will cause
numerous issues as well.
If you like to better assist, please post:
Unedited ipconfig /all from the DC and the machine you want to join.
The AD DNS domain name in ADUC.
Whether updates enabled on the zone in AD.
Thanks,
