>hi,

i think you should never change the reg data.
if it is a server without connected to network or so,=20
once you start with dcpromo, ads will ask you that there=20
is no dns and give you an option to configure it now or=20
later. (for this moment you should have already given an=20
permanent ip and the subnetmask first)

without it it dosn=B4t work.


i hope this will help you.


have good luck

sisantha.


ps: write me back if it worked or not!.
