re: domain controller could not be contacted Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 2:15 pm Windows Server 2003 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DjJeffRush (8 messages posted) Hi, I'm having the same issue on a windows 2000 adv server setup. I have one DC called "Exodus" and another similarly configured server called "Genesis2" that I'm trying to DCPROMO. I keep getting DNS error issues when doing the DC Promo, it can't find the DC. DNS is running and AD integrated, yet the NSLOOKUP trick tells me: C:\>nslookup exodus *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.10: Non-existent domain *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.1: Non-existent domain *** Default servers are not available Server: UnKnown Address: 192.168.2.10 Name: exodus.server607.com Address: 192.168.2.10 Not sure where to go now.
