Azure VM loses connectivity as soon as it's promoted to a DC.

Hello All,

Pretty stumped on this and looking for idea.

I'm trying to promote one of our Azure servers to a DC. Everything works fine and it seems to replicate back to on premise. However, the VM connectivity is sporadic and states the RPC server is unavailable if I am able to remote in. This all take place after the promotion which appears successfully. The local admin account credentials seem to fail on the machine as well effectively locking me out of the machine. I've restored and tried multiple times with the same conclusion.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
