Hi,

I have a Windows 2000 based AD (empty root with 1 child domain) that I'm in the process of upgrading to w2003r2 as a test for our production domain (same configuration). The adprep went fine as well as the dcpromo of the new DC. However when the new DC reboots I get the following messages in the application log:

EVENT TYPE      Error
SOURCE  Userenv
EVENT ID        1097
Windows cannot find the machine account, The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted .

and

EVENT TYPE      Error
SOURCE  Userenv
EVENT ID        1030
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.

Neither system has these messages when they were simple servers in the domain. They were rebooted several times before becoming DCs to make sure the event logs were clean.

They seem to be functioning as DCs. File replication with the orginal w2k dc took a long time to start up.

I added a second w2k3 r2 DC and it is showing the exact same messages. Both machines were created from the same sysprep image - the machine that was built as the basis for the sysprep image was never in the domain.

I've been searching Microsoft and came up with one or two applicable docs. One said to make sure that services like netlogon were set to automatic (it is). Another had settings for enabling debug on the netlogon service which I implemented. All that I see in there is netlogon pausing.

Any ideas?
