Subject: Adding 2008 DC to child domain
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?
Thanks,
Jay
