I cannot promote second dc due to this message “You must supply an user account name”, which I have.

Hi profile avatar Paul Ma

You can try with the domain administrator and the password. If this does not work, you can add a new user to AD, add it to the domain admins group and then try promoting the second server using these credentials.

Thank you for your help I used Try with the credentials of AD\Administrator and Pa$$w0rd and that made the difference. Thanks again.

Hi profile avatar Susan David-Aaron

To properly score the installation check, you do a Custom installation. The script checks if you choose a Desktop Experience and if a password of Pa$$w0rd (with a cero) when asked for credentials during installation.

i completed the Lab for “Adding a second domain controller” but it dosent show that ive passed the Lab, i dont understand why? is because on my first attempt i had an issue with the very last 2 parts so i had to submit as failed, but then after 2 hours went back to complete fully and submit again with 100%. Anyone know what i may have done wrong?

I see in your second attempt, you failed on these two steps: The Server was not promoted to a Domain Controller, and The Infrastructure Master FSMO Role is not on SADC02.

But you completed everything yesterday and got 100% completion. Good job!

I see that you have completed the lab for Section 4: Adding a Second Domain Controller including Section 5: Active Directory Backups. Let us know if that looks different from your end.

Hi profile avatar Savio Augustine

If you are having issues with the Domain Admin account and credentials are ok check if there’s network connectivity between both with name resolution working. Try pinging the server and using its IP Address as the DNS of the second one.

I cannot access my course, Active Directory & Identity with Windows Server. No matter what link I click on, or how many times, it always brings me to this “Comments” page. I need to work on this now while I have a moment but this site is broken.  👎

Hey, you’re being brought to this page because the lesson isn’t being marked as complete… But it sounds like you are unable to click any other links? I checked your account and you have full access. Can you send a video or screenshot that might provide more insight into what is happening with your account?

I am unable to promote the SADC02 to the ad.serveracademy.com. I received an error saying the Server is not operational.

Hi profile avatar Rashidat Bisuga

If you have the DNS set to the IP address of SADC01, then on the authentication box to discover the Domain type for username AD\Administrator, otherwise it will resolve to SADC02 and will give the message of the Server is not operational.

Hi profile avatar Brady Durham

I have uploaded a screenshot of the window “Deployment Configuration” step where you click the Change button to enter the credentials. Note that also the error message displays when the second server is not joined to the domain.

I hope it helps clarify it. If you need more clarification, let us know.

I’m sorry to bother with this as so many already have. I’ve read the responses and tried the solutions I believe and yet I still receive, when attempting to promote the server “ Server is not operational”. Every step before as received a green.  🙄  What am I missing exactly? Thanks

Hi profile avatar Tyneshia Mack

In most of the cases, it is related to networking. Checking network connectivity or ping and DNS name resolution can help solve the issue. Check the domain is correct and use the administrator domain credentials.
