This causes a few headaches for name-resolution. ... 1 7/12/2007 7:33:14 AM Security permissions for DHCP registration credentials Win2003 R2 x64 servers that serve as DCs, DNS, DHCP and WINS servers for domain.

The DC still servers up requests fro clients, just cannot access the server via MMC, either on the box or remotely. The TechNet site is not very helpful, as I have not a clue how to remove and reinstall RPC, especially when it seems to be working fine. ... 4 7/7/2007 1:56:03 PM DNS 4512 e/m on newly promoted W2003 DC/DNS server Hi I am running the following scenario: Windows 2000 Server domain, to be upgraded to Windows 2003.
