before the problem started, i had 1 domain controller set up we will call it dc1.
i had a second server witch at the time wasn't a dc but it did host the DNS zones for our domain; we will call it dc2.
i ran dcpromo on dc2 without any errors. After it rebooted following dcpromo, I received a popup saying a service has failed before I could log in. once I got to the desktop I proceeded to check the logs, and under the system log I found lots of errors. Mostly from netlogon witch just happen to all have an event id of 5774 and also there are 2 entries from LDAPSVCX; below are a few examples, both of the LDAPSVCX entries and 2 examples of the netlogon entries. These all seem to occur after a reboot.
I still got these errors even after changing the dns zone to ad intergraded and even when I recreated the zone from scratch.
Thanks for your help in advanced!
