My 2003 backup Domain controller died, i remove it from AD after a lot of trouble using the ADsutil. i am trying to add another DC using DCPromo but keep getting the message run Adprep /Forestprep first.
When i try running this on the domain controller using adprep32 /forestprep it say i do not have permission, i am a member of the domain admins and enterprise admins and schema admins, but it will not run. does anyone have any ideas, i am currently running with only one DC.
here is the message from the copmmand prompt
C:\support\adprep>adprep32 /forestprep
