| Error Msg. - while Active Directory Installation in W2K Server
W2K Server is installed with four setup floppies. And the window appears “ Windows 2000 Configure Your Server” then I choose:
* This is the only server in my network. click NEXT
For automatically configure – Active Directory, DHCP, and DNS - click NEXT
Your domain name? abcd
Type in the domain name- com (local also tried) click NEXT , NEXT
Making an error message while “Window Components Wizard” configuring Active Directory….
[ Active Directory Installation Failed
The operation failed with the following error:
The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
OK ]
Then we click OK it quit the configuration.
Note: I made four setup floppies from the W2K server CD. And rebooted with first floppy and installed the W2K Server successfully. I did choose Workgroup, this computer is stand alone not connected to network. Network card is installed.
I did choose Licensing Modes: Per server, Number of concurrent connections: 40.
Can you help me?
Thanks. | |

Answer all of the questions.
If you are creating a .com domain, do you have your domain name registered?
If this is the first DC in your forrest, you have to answer the question that this is the first server in the first domain in a new forrest.
Otherwise, it tries to connect to another DC in the forrest. If there are no other DC's in the forrest, you get the error message.
Hope that helps. | |
