Error determining whether the target server is already a domain controller: The target server is already a Domain Controller.

-

so basically, promoting new server dc.  it said promotion failed.  i rebooted server , low , behold, acting domain controller.  it moved domain controller ou, replicating fine, knows has fsmo roles , see no other problems. however, server manager still telling me promote machine dc can seen here:

if click link run dc promo, this:

is there way tell server "yes working dc" rid of task in server manager? or there else should correct this?

hi vinny,

there others have encountered similar scenarios yours, clicking post-deployment configuration message enough make message disappear good.

although more worried mentioned promotion failed, suggest run dcdiag.exe on machine examine if dc healthy.
