Hello community,
Environment
Mixed with one (1) domain controller running Windows Server 2008 and one (1) domain controller running Windows Server 2012.
Steps to Produce the Problem
These steps produce the problem both on the Windows Server 2012 domain controller and on another Windows Server 2012 server configured for centralized management. I login with my account which is in the Domain Admins group, and I start the Active Directory
Module for Windows PowerShell with Administrative privileges. I execute the Import-Module Kds command; then I execute the Add-KdsRootKey -EffectiveImmediately command and get the following error:
Other thoughts
Based on my understanding of the elements at work here, I believe there is a file located on the domain controller itself that is being locked by some other service. If anyone could provide clues as to which file and/or service could be at fault, I'd
appreciate. Alternative theories are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Michael
