DCPROMO command is for “promoting” servers to Domain Controllers.
You can’t promote an XP machine to a DC.
It has to be a server OS.

Hi sherow,
DCpromo is a windows server operation system command which is used to promote / make normal windows server functionality to server functinaity as domain controller. A domain controller can manage almost all resources in you network such as users
,PCs, Printers and etc. However, Client Operation System such as Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 are just an operating system for normal user, it doesn't assume the role of the server.
What is Domain Controller Roles
