Trying to upgrade from SBS2003, to SBS2011.
Followed this guide: http://demazter.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/migrate-small-business-server-2003-to-small-business-server-2011/
Everything seemed fine unti setting up SBS2011 using answerfile. I'm getting:
"FATAL: DcPromo_JoinDomain: The server was not promoted to a domain controller."
Opening other error logs I see.
"Checking if Active Directory Domain Services binaries are installed...
Active Directory Domain Services Setup
Validating environment and parameters...
The name of this computer has been changed, but the computer must be restarted for the change to take effect. Active Directory Domain Services cannot be installed until the computer has been restarted."
Digging deeper, I see this in yet a 3rd error log.

What stands out to me is the pszleftname and pszrightname dont match, and cause it to error.
Upon reboot, the server hasn't joined the domain.
I tried joining the server to the domain, then rerunning sbssettup but same error...
It's 3am, I must get some sleep. I've been having this same error for 12 hours and tried every solution I can think of.
I'll post the full logs in a reply.
