Domain Controllers configured to Reinstall Active Directory may fail at the Reinstall Active Directory Domain Services step with errors similar to the following:
"Install-ADDCDomainController: Verification of prerequisites for Active Directory preparation failed. Unable to connect to the replication source domain controller <DCFQDN>. Exception: Invalid Credentials"
The FR process adds the domain name to the account name specified for the DC Access Account. If you enter the account name in the project as FQDN\AccountName or NETBIOSName\AccountName, the credentials that would get passed to the cmdlet to reinstall AD would look something like:
- FQDN\FQDN\AccountName
or
- FQDN\NETBIOName\AccountName
Configure the project by entering only the account name for the Access Account. Do not prefix it with anything.
Defect ID RMADFE-1967 has been submitted to have the FR project check if the account entered is in an incorrect format.
