Hi everyone,
I'm trying to do a clean install of a Windows 2008 Server Standard but I'm having a problem that I have not found on the net yet, so I'll try to explain here.
I cannot drop any screenshots since I'm installing the new server on 3 HD's Raid5 in the same case as the one running a Win2003 server now. So I won't be able to try some manoeuvers too.
Problem:
The installation worked (RAID5), installed NIC driver and being able to connect to internet without problems.
I installed the AD function and was trying to install the DNS server with dcpromo.exe.
With our without 'the Advanced settings option', I can:
- create new domain in new forest
- type the FQDN (.be, .com, .***** .crap, even a single title)
- choose the forest functional level (win 2008)
- he verifies name use and netbios, all are fine
...
After this he starts examining the DNS settings... for ages...
I tried options like different FQDN, different FFL... nothing helps.
I also tried uninstalling the AD function and reinstalling it. Then I tried to install DNS function first but then he says I have to do everything else manual (I tried but lost a lot of time checking errors).
The only thing I haven't tried is the unattend file because lack of time.
Who has an idea?
Here are some specs:
IP address: 192.168.0.250
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1
dns: 192.168.0.250
alternate dns: 193.74.208.135
Thanks
