AFAIR you don't need the -r switch -- it finds the PDC itself using a
broadcast (just as it does when it needs to authenticate). That's how
I did it and it worked.

Also, make sure that the machine is *not* already defined in the PDC
(Server Manager). If it's defined, delete it from there and try again.

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
