Re: Adding additionl DC to existing windows 2003 Domain

Read the article Firewall Ports needed for Replication off of the articles
link at

http://www.pbbergs.com

My guess is you don't have all the ports opened, there is a tool in this
document that will guide you to test if this is all correctly setup.
Excerpt below:

Download PortQryUI and run the tool
Select the destination DC or PDC

Select Domains and Trusts

Validate the ports that should be open in fact are
via the output provided by the tool.

For additional info on this tool see
PortQry features, this is the backend tool for PortQryUI

I have been following the Documentation on this site trying to add and
additional Windows 2k3 dc to an existing domain which has one of there
Windows 2k3 DC.

The primary server being the existing Windows 2k3 dc is located on a
network whilst the new DC is located on a wan (VPN). I have setup the dns
ect and this all seems to be fine, I can see the servers from either side
and ping them by name. I have added the new windows 2003 server to the
domain but when I try and undcpromo /adv I get the following error.....

The Error which I am receving is as follows...

Active Directory could not create the NTDS Settings object for this domain
controller CN=NTDS
Settings,CN=LAKEBACKUP1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=lakesidehotel,DC
=co,DC=uk on the remote domain controller
lakesideserver.lakesidehotel.co.uk. Ensure the provided network
credentials have sufficient permissions.

"Could not find the domain controller for this domain."

I have made sure that the administrator account on the exisitng DC has
domain Admin right and it has full rights but still I recieve the above
error.

The error states " Could not find the domain controller for this Domain"
although I can ping it from the remote Win 2k3 server and vice versur.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice?

Thank you in advance!
