I'll let you know how it turns out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= - This is a common problem, basically AD refuses to install without a=20 connection to a hub or switch (essentially saying hey, I'm not connected = to=20 a network, you don't need this). All you have to do is install the=20 microsoft loopback adapter, and everything is kosher. (remember to = remove=20 the loopback adapter when you're done.) See the following MS article = for=20 more details 271750.
