You are the network administrator for Contoso Pharmaceuticals. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains three Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. A domain controller named DC2.contoso.com fails because of a hardware failure. You decide not to rebuild the domain controller.
However, because several applications refer to DC2.contoso.com by its NetBIOS name, you need to provide a new domain controller that has the same name. You install a new Windows Server 2003 computer and name it DC2.
You attempt to promote the server to a domain controller in the contoso.com domain. The promotion fails and you receive the following error message.
You need to install a new domain controller named DC2 in the contoso.com domain.
