Can this new system see the existing domain controller? IE: is it a member
server today in this domain?

Subject: [ActiveDir] Unable to add an additional domain controller
Hi guys,
I have just set up a windows 2000 domain, I set up the domain controller
and I set up clients all the client machines are running windows 2000
professional and I have no problem on that present network for now.
Now I want to add another domain controller to the domain as an
additional domain controller, so I run the dcpromo command from the
command prompt and the active directory installation wizard begins.
I tell it that I want to add the present machine as an additional domain
controller. It then asks me for the domain name and I supply it, but it
gives me an error. So I try the domain name again but this time
excluding .com from the full domain name, so I get another screen and
this time it prompts with the full domain name under the domain name tab
and it completes the name with .com included. So I click next and then
it tells me that the domain name cannot be contacted, then I browse for
domains and it gives me the full domain name with .com included but if I
select that I get the same error I got earlier, so this time I exclude
the .com and then it tells me that to I want to refer to the full domain
name with the .com included and I say yes. It asks me a couple of
questions after wards but yet it is still not able to communicate with
the domain.
Please how do I solve this problem but it is really hindering my work.
Thanks
Seyi
