You don't do that with dcpromo.

Thanks a lot !
You are not quite clear here.....are you trying to run dcpromo on a machine that is already a DC? You need to run dcpromo on a second standalone server and promote it to a DC. Sounds like the machine you are trying to promote is already a DC in some domain..........
