The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Bringing a 2003 server into a 2000 domain as a domain controller

Asked by BuckChrisBuck in Windows 2003 Server

I have followed microsofts(!?!?) instructions and have been unable to complete this job - if anyone can help then please let me know.
This is the situation:
I have a windows 2000 domain with one domain server which does everything including exchange.
I wish to bring a second server into the domain  to provide some redundancy and allow me to rebuild the 1st machine as it is due for a rebuild.
To do this I have built a windows 2003 server as a standalone. I have run adprep /forestprep successfully and then adprep /domainprep on the windows 2000 machine whilst it is disconnected from the network.
No errors - no issues (that I can see)
The next stage is to run the roles wizard on the 2003 and change the role of the 2003 box to be a domain controller - it lets me run through the whole wizrd and I can browse and select the 2000 domain controller when requested but it all stops with an error:
"This operation failed because

The active directory installation requires domain configuration changes. Run adprep /domainprep ........etc etc
...and then proceed with the active directory installation

The server is unwilling to process your request"

I have had a look around at these type of problems and have seen two which although do not have this error, seem vagualy similar. One says ensure that you are using the correct priviliges and security information. This I am doing. The second said ensure you have delegation from the windows 2000 controller - I have given both the 2003 machine and the administrators this delegation.
Do you think that this could be something to do with exchange server 2000 on the win2k box?

My next stage will be to either upgarde the 2000 box to 2003 and then try it or build another box as 2000 and try and bring that into the domain both I would like to avoid as they are long processes with no guarantee that they will work.

Please help if you can

Thanks

Chris
