The Network operation failed because active directory domain service could not configure the computer account ServerName$ on the remote active directory domain controller RemoteDCName.yourDomain.local “Access Denied”

 

Problem: When you ran DCPromo you are receiving fallowing errors, The Network operation failed because active directory domain service could not configure the computer account ServerName$ on the remote active directory domain controller RemoteDCName.yourDomain.local “Access Denied”

Solution:

Open ADUC.msc on the remote DC where the complain is coming from, on the find objects snap in click drop down menu and change the query to “computers”

 

Find the computer object, , click on object tab and take out the option says “Protect object from accidental deletion”
