DCPROMO completed succesfully, and then I restarted the server, and from there it all went wrong. The following services wont start giving access denied errors, Base Filering Engine DHCP Client Diagnostic Policy Service Windows Time The following give the Dependency service doesnt exist or has been marked for Deletion. DNS Server File Replication Services IKE and Auth IP Intersite Messaging Kerberos Dependancy Service or Group Failed ot Start IPSEC Policy Agent Windows FIrewall The NLS and NLA services also werent starting but I fixed them but the only way I could get them to start was to give everyon full control to the reg key, but I tried for BFE and that didnt work, and for obvious reason I dont want that to work,. I tried to DCPROMO it down but it would not let me as it was running domain services. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Graeme -- Good news everyone, you have just received and e-mail from me! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
