active directory could not replicate the directory partition
I have a single domain environment with a single server running 2003. This server is the PDC, DNS, DHCP server.
I am migrating to a new server 2008r2 server, that will assume all roles of the old server.
My problem:
During DCpromo, the new server throws an error about not being able to replicate the directory partition.
Even though the DCpromo fails, I can go into Active Directory Users and Computers and it shows all of what Would be replicated...it's all there. But it just wont become a domain controller.
I have ran all of the adprep commands.
Im currently looking through DCDiag on the old server to see if anything is failing--so far the only part that doesnt pass is in the very beginning:
"warning: could not confirm the identity of this server in the directory versus the names returned by dns........."
I have reset the flag in the registry to resolve the Ntfrs failure that was occuring (it fixed that issue).

DCPromo gets to the very end to the point where it stops the Netlogon service and starts trying to replicate the shcema partition.
this is the dcdiag:

Is your 2008 Server only pointing to Windows 2003 Server for DNS in the TCP\IP properties?
Post ipconfig /all from both servers
Post ipconfig /all from both servers
Make sure you have proper DNS suffix listed on both servers
Check DNS & PTR Entry is created properly or not for this server
ASKER
The 2008 machine is pointing to the 2003 machine for DNS.
There are PTRs for both machines in DNS, as well as host records for both machines.
Zone transfers for DNS are working and Dynamic Updates are enabled.
DCpromo fails at the very end...but if I go to active directory users and comps on the 2008 machine--even though dcpromo doesnt complete--all of the active directory objects, users, comps are there.
It just wont allow promotion to DC. Which prevents me from migrating over.
