Function level could not be raised.... The directory server is busy

I have 2 AD Intergrated DC in my doamin (Both are windows 2003). They can replicate to each other. But when I try to raise my first DC to windows server 2003, I got this error message :

The Function level could not be raised. The error is: The directory server is busy.

I checked the performance monitor, nothing is busy.. what might be the problem?

By the way, I think maybe this has something to do with exchange 2003 server? I just installed it on my fisrt DC.
I just made it work... I just retried it again from DC2 and it works!!

what was the problem? DC2 was down and I tried to raised it on DC1.

Did DC2 cause the problem, just because it was down? But I don't think this is the problem because DC1 is my first DC in the forest and it has all FSMO roles. I think it should be just raised even DC2 was down...

But I run the network monitor, and I didn't see any traffic looking for other DCs..
