The operation failed because:
Active Directory Domain Services could not replicate the directory partition CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=cemnet,DC=ntu,DC=edu,DC=sg from the remote Active Directory Domain Controller cemnet_dellsvr2.
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
source server : cemnet_dellsvr2 (window server 2000) domain netbios name : cemnet
target server : window sever 2008 R2 standard
nslookup all resolved well
previously i encounter problem to start dcpromo while finding the domain name and at last i found the _msdcs.xxxx record was not found in dns of source server, i added it and all the related srv record manually, and now it can start nicely but the process of dcpromo hit error while replicating
wonder any one can help on this issue, thanks in advance
below are the dcpromo log
