Dear Experts;
we have a DC running Win Server 2008 Standard X32, and we installed new Win Server 2008 R2 Enterprise X64 for redunduncy & Replication,
when we want to promote the second server to a DC it give us error: shows that we have to prepare the AD for the new DC, and we already did that, but it was useless, every time we want to promote the DC it gives the same Error.
i don't know what to do really.
i have run Dcdiag.exe and have the following output:
C:>dcdiag.exe /s:pm-vsp-dc03

Performing initial setup:
* Identified AD Forest.
[PM-S-DC01] LDAP bind failed with error 8341,

Got error while checking if the DC is using FRS or DFSR. Error:
A directory service error has occurred.The VerifyReferences, FrsEvent and
DfsrEvent tests might fail because of this error.

Just a side note that I think may be useful:
You should run the preparation (the above command) on a member of the actual AD, not on the new server…
