Hi
I am currently assisting a client with issues relating to the environments domain controllers running on Windows Server 2012 R2. It would seem that issues have persisted for a while now. When I got access to the
environment i had found two domain controllers which were no replicating with one another. I removed the domain controller which did not any have any of the fsmo roles on it and attempted to re-add it to the domain as domain domain controller.
On numerous attempts on trying to add the server to the domain as a domain controller I kept receiving and Access Denied error. I checked the default domain controller policy and the default domain policy going
to the extent of recreating the Default Domain Controller policy in the event that this was previously tampered with and this still not resolve the issue.
I attempted to manually add the server to the domain, which was successful however trying to make this a domain controller continued to fail with Acces Denied error.
I am coming close to throwing in the towel on this one and advising the client possibly rebuild the environment however before i do that I am looking for any assistance that could deviate from that path. I have
the dcpromo and dcdiag logs if required.
thanks.
