I am migrating from my old Win 200 SP4 server to a Win 2003 R2 x64 server &
Exchange 2007. I did the dcpromo and all step that I was aware of to the new
server and I thought things were fine. But, when I shut down the old DC I
lost all my domain abilities (not even able to log into the new server).
So I started looking into it, and I'm lost as to what is happening. There
are lot's of error messages in my logs, I don't see a SYSVOL share on the new
server, even though the new server is supposed to be the GC it's not. I've
checked and the new server SEEMS to have all the FSMO roles.
I have been doing research online, and frankly I'm lost as to the best path
to proceded. Here is a list of errors I am seeing (Note - All real server and
domain names have been replaced... I'm a bit of a security freak):

There are no DNS errors, both system are running DNS, and pointed to the
correct servers (I do have my ISP's DNS also listed). This is a single server
install so it will do everything for the domain.
Any help is GREATLY apprecated, and more info will be supplied if needed.
Thanks!!
