Hi.
Does anybody have any experience with the NDTSUTIL-command precreate?
I've found next to no information about it. Supposedly it should =
precreate a
sub-domain in the forrest so that someone other than an enterprise admin =
can
join the domain to the forrest.
It doesn't seem to suffice with just precreate though (Sorin can tell =
you,
he was at the other end of a "practial" experiment). Here at the =
University
the campus covers a lot of ground and is scattered about our town, so
eliminating the need for Enterprise Admin presence would speed domain
joining quite a bit. (Let's not get into why so many domains it's such a
bother. Let's just leave it at "politics", "territorial" and "Microsoft
licensing model". ;-) )
When trying to join the domain that was precreated, replication fails =
with a
cryptic message like "busy" or some other. (I can't remember the exact
message. Sorin, can you?) But I'm not yet convinced this is related. But
it's a bit more of a coincidence than I'm comfortable with.
Any help is appreciated.
