I would like to add another domain controller into my existing domain controller. So on my new server, I went with <br />
&quot;DC Promo&quot; and next, next, next. By the way I supplied with the administrator credentials on the existing machine,<br />
<br />
But then it gives me the following error:<br />
The operation failed because: The Active Directory Installation Wizard was unable to convert the computer account PENTIUM5$ to a domain controller account. &nbsp;&quot;Access is denied.&quot;<br />
<br />
I checked the administrator credential on the existing domain controller and it's a group of domain admins, which is should be enough to do perform this task.<br />
<br />
Please advise!<br />

Creating Replication domain,

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
