Hi, I was wondering if someone experienced something similar and found a solution to this one. My intention is to build a similar branch office scenario in Vmware Workstation but than with W2K3SP1R2-RC0. The forest root domain contains: * Forest Root Domain: CORP.NET (DFL and FFL = W2k3) * 1 DC = GC = DNS = FSMOs * Name of DC = ROOTDC01 * DC points only to itself as prim. Server * DNS server hosts zones: CORP.NET (in domain app part), _MSDCS.CORP.NET (in forest app part), .(root) (in custom app part called 'ROOTDNSZONE.CORP.NET' - the only enlisted DC = ROOTDC01), 0.10.in-addr.arpa (in forest app part) * All zones are AD-I and secure DDNS is enabled * NO WINS used! * On DNS server a delegation has been created for the zone BRANCH.CORP.NET to CHUBDC01.BRANCH.CORP.NET I want the forest to contain an additional domain with the following characteristics (BUT DCPROMO FAILS!): * Domain: BRANCH.CORP.NET * 1 DC = GC = DNS = FSMOs * Name of DC = CHUBDC01 * DC points only to itself as prim. Server and point to ROOTDC01.CORP.NET as an alternate * DNS server hosts zones: BRANCH.CORP.NET (in domain app part), _MSDCS.CORP.NET (in forest app part), 0.10.in-addr.arpa (in forest app part) * NO WINS used! * On DNS server forwarding has been configured to ROOTDC01.CORP.NET The troubleshooting part: * On ROOTDC01.CORP.NET if I run NETDIAG /V -> all tests passed except for default gateway because it is not defined * On ROOTDC01.CORP.NET if I run DCDIAG /V -> all tests passed! * On CHUBDC01.BRANCH.CORP.NET if I run: dcdiag /test:dcpromo /dnsdomain:branch.corp.net /childdomain it says: CHUBDC01 passed test DcPromo * Pinging between both servers is OK! * NSLOOKUP from both servers querying different type of records works OK * No errors in event log * Adding CHUBDC01 to the domain CORP.NET as a member server works OK * No firewalls used DCPROMO'ING CHUBDC01 to a DC for an additional child domain in the forest FAILS¦(when the server is a member server or a stand alone¦ neither works) (or to whatever DC in whatever domain) DCPROMO fails at the moment I click OK after entering credentials and pops up with: The wizard cannot gain access to the list of domains in the forest This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For info¦ blababla¦. The error 'The RPC server is unavailable' I have searched the internet for this and found something similar but then with Vmware ESX, among other situations, but still no solution. I have provided the links I have seen with this: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=18782&messageID=211853 http://forums.techarena.in/archive/index.php/t-65328.html http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=18782&messageID=213146 WTF is this?
