I have a small server 2008 R2 setup in a non-production environment to test and learn about the OS itself and eventually other applications and services.
I have been trying for about the last week to install a second DC. Every time I try do this, I run dcpromo.exe and it says this exactly:
"This computer is already an Active Directory domain controller. You can use this wizard to uninstall Active Directory Domain Services on this server"
This is the only option I am given. All of the texts I read say to run dcpromo.exe and just 'install another DC' (spoken sarcastically because of the issues I am currently having) for fault tolerance and the like, but I simply cannot do it for some odd reason. I am logged in as administrator. I also apologize in advance if I am leaving anything out that I should be adding. Please let me know what information you need and I will be more than happy to provide it.
Thank you for your time.
