Hi, I'm fairly new to windows servers so I may have not explained things correctly....
I've installed the AD role on a new server and selected to create a new forest and domain. The process completed and the expected warnings came up. The server rebooted and I logged onto the newly created domain ("X.local"). I then set the DHCP scope which also installed without any errors.
The problem is that when I went into the Active Directory Users and computers an error came up "Naming information cannot be located because: The specified domain either does not exist ir could not be contacted". No default folders appear here and an 'X' symbol is next to the AD Users and Computers icon.
When accessing the AD Adminstrative Centre the following error occurs "Warning - Cannot connect to any domain. Refresh or try again when connection is available."
When I ran the AD Domain Services Configuration Wizard again to see if there is anything I may have missed an error shows "Error determining the target server is already a domain controller: The domain controller promotion completed, but the server is not advertising as a domain controller."
On DNS I could not sign the zone. Also the folders 'DomainDnsZones' and 'ForestDnsZones' do not exist.
The DHCP appears to be fine.
I tried to remove all roles and start again but I cannot remove the domain. Can you please help me through the steps to resolve the issues.
Kind regards Sunny Pawar
