I've got an SBS 2003 server that I'm trying to make redundant and shift to a new Server 2012 box with Outlook 2013. To do this, I've got a temporary SBS 2011 box that I'm using to facilitate the migration. Here's the problem:
Upon running the migration preparation tool on the 2003 box, I get a few errors, namely that the "log on as a batch job" assignment is wrong, and that some FSMO roles are missing.
- Trying to correct the first error brings up a "The remote call procedure failed and did not run."
- Trying to correct the second error by using (ntdsutil > roles > connect > connect to server SERVER) throws up the error "DSBindW error (0x6bf): The remote procedure call failed and did not execute."
- Running a portqry on port 135 from another machine tells me that port 135 is LISTENING but not responding.
- Running repadmin /bind shows everything as "yes". (should I be using different parameters?)
- Running dcdiag tells me: "Directory binding error 1727: The remote procedure call failed and did not execute".
Can anyone please point me in the direction I should be looking to resolve this? Otherwise, is there another way of migrating the server that doesn't involve RPC? If anyone wants, I can post more detailed logs and outputs.
