Are you talking about when you run DC Promo??

  I'm trying to add a member server to my SBS 2003 network to handle AD backup 
  via replication and SUS.  When I try to run the wizard which adds the AD 
  role to the new server it fails with the message that the computer's account 
  can't be updated on the domain controller so the AD install fails.  What am 
  I missing?  Windows 2003 Server, member of the SBS domain, users who log in 
  on this machine can perform all the normal stuff that a fully authenticated 
  user could.  Ideas?  Suggestions?
