I have a WS 2008 R2 standard a the existing AD DC. I have a new server that is WS 2008 R2 enterprise that I want to add as a second DC in the same domain. I have joined the new server to the domain and logged in as the administrator for the domain. The DC's are in different geographical location.
Here is the error I am getting and the log file.
