I currently have a NT4.0 domain. Bought a new server with
2003. Use an ISP for DNS. I am running dcpromo to
install AD in an existing domain (4.0). I keep receiving
an error; "An active directoy domain controller could not
be contacted for the domain." Since it is a NT4.0 domain
I am upgrading, there isn't going to be a AD DC yet.

Please Help!
