It was a MTU issue, bloody !@#$!!

Turns out the network adapter in the server I was attempting to promote
wouldn't adjust MTU properly.
We have some pathetic routers - Nortel Instant Internet 100s - that don't
allow for MTU adjustments in IPSEC tunnels. I found it odd that quick
directory listings of netlogon, etc would work, but longer listings
wouldn't. Until I tried ping -f -l tests anyway.
The only thing that changed between the old system and the new system was
the hard drives, and the LAN card - I asked for a Win2K compatible card just
in case they couldn't get the existing LAN card working. I wish they chose a
better LAN card than a D-Link DL-538TX. I ended up hacking the MTU setting
on all three servers - that alone allowed dcpromo to finish.
I now have some DFS replication issues that I think will sort themselves out
once the directory's fully replicated on the replacement server.
