Problems adding W2k8 (not R2) DC to W2k Domain

curious problem adding w2k8 dc existing w2k domain.

i have followed instructions of meinolf weber, e.g. netdiag, dcdiag, adprep, transferring fmso roles, establishing reliable external time server, etc.

on new w2k8 dc, when point dns existing dc, new dc performs well.  however, when point dns new dc , restart, dc not seem function correctly.

1. network properties no longer shows domain name network, instead shows "network"

2. event log contained numerous warnings after assigning local ip dns , restarting. see below: (i can provide details if needed)

so far, have transferred fmso roles old server once , demoted new dc , removed ad completely.  reinstalled ad under different machine name , still experiencing same issue.

i @ loss , appreciate assistance.

thanks.

if it's not working when point new 2008 dc dns, tells me dns data not replicating. when installed dns on 2008 dc, has additional options 2000 has no idea are. if had administered 2008, may have introduced new options causing zone data not replicate.

the rule of thumb install dns on new dc, , continue administer dns oldes common denominator until rid of them or update them.

go dns on new one, right-click ad zone name, , tell me replication scope did set to.
