Hey all, I have a client who has 2 2003 servers and one of them is about to die. They have a primary domain and a child domain in the same forest. We're replacing the dying server, which happens to be the child domain controller, with a 2008 DC. I've adprep'd the forest, added the 2008 server to the domain (it only gave me the option to add it to the forest top level domain) and have configured DNS and copied data. I can see the child domain from ADUC and can replicate through Sites and Services.
The problem is I can't log in or add this server as a domain controller under the child domain. It sees it okay but it will not let me log into it or administer it through ADUC from the dying controller. Whenever I try to connect to it through ADUC on the child DC, it just gives me the message that the new DC is under the main domain and do I want to administer that domain, which I don't of course. I haven't been able to find anything Googly - only how to create a DC and how to create a child domain in general. Anyone have a direction I can try?
