Re: DCPROMO seems to be stuck - Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello r_deckard,

Even it sounds the same please create your own posting. Additional i suggest
to use the Windows server 2008 R2 forum instead this newsgroup. Please include
all detail steps you have done, including adprep logfile and dcpromo logfile.
Additional an unedited ipconfig /all from both servers and the DNS domain
name NEtBios domain name and name listed in AD UC.
