I recently setup many 2008 servers and run DCpromo without looking at the problem. I have a 2008 R2 server, which is just formatted from scratch, applied some patches from Windows update. I am trying to set up a brand new domain, new everything and it has started the DC promo process. I have set it for 2003 functional level. It tells me currecntly Configuring the local computer to host AD Services. It usually should say that setup could take from a few minutes to several hours, but I have never seen it make more than 15 minutes to do a DCpromo before. It is a standalone server running 2008 on a system with a 3 ghz core 2 processor and 4gb of ram on a freshly formatted 500GB hard drive. Can anyone tell me why it seems to be stucking? Thanks
