Hi all,<br />
<br />
I've got this problem when trying to run dcpromo on a Win2000 domain server: it initiates a shutdown as soon as I type &quot;dcpromo&quot; in the run box and press enter. &nbsp;I'm trying to make this machine an additional DC.<br />
<br />
(By shutdown, I mean that it displays the 30second countdown window that you see if you were to run &quot;shutdown -r&quot;) <br />
<br />
Anyway, the problem never goes away.<br />
<br />
The machine affected is running W2K Server 2000 SP4 FW1.1 and all the latest patches (except the FW1.1 service pack 1).<br />
The domain is a Win2K Active Directory type.<br />
<br />
TIA<br />
<br />
<br />

dcpromo initiates shutdown

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
