Hi, Did you run "dcpromo" directly or run Server Manager to install AD role? Please open %SystemRoot%\Debug folder, find Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log (if exist) and use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the file and then give me the download address. Thanks.This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

For anyone who also searches for a solution for this, set the Remote Registry Service to start automaticly if you disabled it. Reboot and run dcpromo again. Worked for me ;-)

SOLVED :: First of all You need to add ADDS role from Server manager and then need to run dcpromo.exe from command prompt.

check to see if the remote registry service is running, if not start it.Andy
