ok, I dont know how to set that, but I will look into it. Also, this just popped up out of nowhere as it never gave me this red X until yesterday.
Thank you for the help. :)
In my permissions list, I have a red X on the 'built-in administrator' account on the name itself. After some searching I havent come up with a solution to this.
I have a domain, and the server (Server 2008 R2) itself does not have the red X on the administrator account. It is only on the client computers.
Any ideas as to what is going on? Any help is appreciated. :)

I have a small server 2008 R2 setup in a non-production environment to test and learn about the OS itself and eventually other applications and services.
I have been trying for about the last week to install a second DC. Every time I try do this, I run dcpromo.exe and it says this exactly:
"This computer is already an Active Directory domain controller. You can use this wizard to uninstall Active Directory Domain Services on this server"
This is the only option I am given. All of the texts I read say to run dcpromo.exe and just 'install another DC' (spoken sarcastically because of the issues I am currently having) for fault tolerance and the like, but I simply cannot do it for some odd reason. I am logged in as administrator. I also apologize in advance if I am leaving anything out that I should be adding. Please let me know what information you need and I will be more than happy to provide it.
Thank you for your time.

Hello all,
Just want to say hello. Thank goodness for a forum so I can get some help, and when I become more acquainted with server 2008, I will be able to offer assistance as well. I look forward to getting to know the good folks here.
