In my attempts to create a replicadc on Windows 2008 server, I keep getting
the same error message - "Access is denied". The member server has no
problem joining the domain. And I've removed and re-joined several times.
Dynamic Updates are working and a host record is created on AD Integrated
DNS.
I also ran the DCDIAG test with dcpromo, and everything comes back clean.
==============
C:\Windows\system32>hostname

C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>dcdiag /dnsdomain:mylabcheck.com /test:dcpromo
/replicadc
Starting test: DcPromo
The DNS configuration is sufficient to allow this computer to be
promoted
as a replica domain controller in the mylabcheck.com domain.
Messages logged below this line indicate whether this domain
controller
will be able to dynamically register DNS records required for the
location of this DC by other devices on the network. If any
misconfiguration is detected, it might prevent dynamic DNS
registration
of some records, but does not prevent successful completion of the
Active
Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard. However, we recommend
fixing the reported problems now, unless you plan to manually update
the
DNS database.
DNS configuration is sufficient to allow this domain controller to
dynamically register the domain controller Locator records in DNS.
The DNS configuration is sufficient to allow this computer to
dynamically
register the A record corresponding to its DNS name.

====================
I found a KB article that makes reference to this issue, but I couldn't
follow it, since the steps were not clear with the group policy mmc.

Any other ideas?
