Since you can get to C$ can you get the dcpromo*.log files which may help determine what is going on.

I've got a Windows 2003 R2 Server, which I've joined to a domain, and dcpromo'd. After the dcpromo and subsequent reboot, I can't logon to the server, either 'interactively' or via RDP, or using PsExec. I can access file shares, like c$, and I can point MMC snap-ins to the computer without problems. The fact that the server is now a DC seems to have replicated around just fine (all DCs show that the server is now in the Domain Controllers OU), but all the SRV records are missing. The system log is full of Netlogon 5774 events, suggesting I run dcdiag, which is a nice suggestion, but I can't log on to the server to do it. Another (healthy) DC's directory service logs shows plenty of event 1699s, complaining: The local domain controller failed to retrieve the changes requested for the following directory partition. As a result, it was unable to send the change requests to the domain controller at the following network address. Directory partition: CN=RID Manager$,CN=System,DC=domain,DC=co,DC=uk Network address: a5859b6d-e8a7-4b50-aab8-ba0e03d259f3._msdcs.domain.co.uk Extended request code: 2 Additional Data Error value: 8453 Replication access was denied. Has something gone horribly wrong here, or am I overlooking something simple that I'm going to kick myself about later?
