Re: Adding a Windows 2003 R2 server to a Windows 2000 Domain

As long as you are only trying to join the 2003 R2 member server to the
domain you shouldn't need to do an adprep. If you are attempting to do a
dcpromo of the 2003 R2 machine then you have to make sure you ran the adprep
from disk 2 of the R2 disk.

I would recommend that you clean up your system/boot partition before you
attempt to do anything else. You can get all sorts of odd messages if you
don't have enough free space. This probably isn't the problem but you never
know.

Are you getting any error messages in the event logs of any of the machines
in question?

Hi,

I am trying to add a Windows 2003 R2 server to a Windows 2000 Domain (1
Domain controller which only has SP2 installed) and I get the following
error
message:

The account is not authorized to log in from this station

I am using this domain administrator account when I try to add the server
into the domain.

The same also happens if I try and open a network share on the Windows
2000
server and use the domain administrator to login. I have also tried with
another user which has Domain Admin rights and is also a memeber of the
Administrators group, but I get the same error message.

I can't see any permission problems with any of the accounts in AD or any
problems with the local security policy either.

I have run the ADPREP commands on the Windows 2000 server, since the idea
is
to eventually migrate everything over to the Windows 2003 R2 server. The
ADPREP commands worked just fine.

I have a free space problem on the c drive so if I do not need to install
SP3 or SP4 then that would be best.

Is this a known problem with Windows 2000 severs running SP2 or is this a
problem with the Windows 2003 R2 server or something else?

Many Thanks

Clive
