DsAddEntry Failed...

[R. Rochte]

Also, this was recorded in the Directory Service log on my Windows DC:

The request to add a new NTDS Settings object was denied because the
highest functional level supported by the operating system was lower than
the functional level of the domain or forest.



Highest functional level of the operating system:

0

Domain or forest functional level:

1



User Action

Install the correct operating system.
