We are attempting to promote a Windows Server 2019 standard machine, already joined to the local domain, to become a domain controller. Each time we attempt to do so, the promotion fails. Contents of the log file ldiff.err.87 for each attemped
promotion contain:
Entry DN: CN=Send-As,CN=Extended-Rights,CN=Configuration,DC=colo,DC=domain,DC=local
changetype: modify
Attribute 0) appliesTo:7b8b558a-93a5-4af7-adca-c017e67f1057
Add error on entry starting on line 1: No Such Object
The server side error is: 0x208d Directory object not found.
The extended server error is:
0000208D: NameErr: DSID-0310020A, problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of:
'CN=Extended-Rights,CN=Configuration,DC=colo,DC=domain,DC=local
An error has occurred in the program
The existing domain controller is running Windows Server 2008R2 and its active directory domain and forest functional levels are Windows Server 2008R2. When I run “dcdiag” on the existing domain controller, all tests are passed except for SystemLog
and those errors are related to XPS writer and Print to PF, which, I believe a unnecessary since no printers are used with the machines. What can I do to resolve this problem?
