Curious problem adding W2k8 DC to existing W2k domain.
I have followed the instructions of Meinolf Weber, e.g. Netdiag, DCdiag, Adprep, transferring all FMSO roles, establishing reliable external time server, etc.
On the new w2k8 DC, when I point the DNS to the existing DC, the new DC performs very well. However, when I point the DNS to the new DC and restart, the DC does not seem to function correctly.
1. Network properties no longer shows the domain name for the network, instead it just shows "Network"
2. The event log contained numerous warnings after assigning the local IP for DNS and restarting. See below: (I can provide the details if needed)

So far, I have transferred the FMSO roles back to the old server once and demoted the new DC and removed AD completely. I reinstalled AD under a different machine name and I am still experiencing the same issue.
I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate some assistance.
Thanks.
