From: Bertram on
Yahoo! I've managed to get somewhere... I've now got a DNS service with
an AD-integrated forward zone set up.

There are still some worrying items in the output from dcdiag though -
I've included the output below in the hope that someone can shed some
light on my (new?) problem.

================

Command Line: "dcdiag.exe /v /d /c"

Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
* Verifying that the local machine ag-dbsvr, is a DC.
* Connecting to directory service on server ag-dbsvr.
ag-dbsvr.currentTime = 20060505121831.0Z
ag-dbsvr.highestCommittedUSN = 307279
ag-dbsvr.isSynchronized = 1
ag-dbsvr.isGlobalCatalogReady = 1
* Collecting site info.
* Identifying all servers.
AG-DBSVR.currentTime = 20060505121831.0Z
AG-DBSVR.highestCommittedUSN = 307279
AG-DBSVR.isSynchronized = 1
AG-DBSVR.isGlobalCatalogReady = 1
* Identifying all NC cross-refs.
* Found 2 DC(s). Testing 1 of them.
Done gathering initial info.

a given

domain or if the problem persists after replication has had

reasonable time to replicate changes.
[1] Problem: Missing Expected Value

Base Object:


CN=TEMPSVR,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=mydomain,DC=net

Base Object Description: "Server Object"

Value Object Attribute: serverReference

Value Object Description: "DC Account Object"

Recommended Action: This could hamper authentication (and
thus

replication, etc). Check if this server is deleted, and
if so

clean up this DCs Account Object. If the problem persists
and

this is not a deleted DC, authoratively restore the DSA
object from

a good copy, for example the DSA on the DSA's home server.

if so

clean up this DCs Account Object.

===============

Specifically, why on earth is the PDC role not working? I had hoped
that all of these issues would magically disappear once the DNS issue
was rectified!

Thanks again for all your help, and thanks in advance for the help I
hope you're going to give with this one! ;-)

From: strongline on
the server "TMPSVR" wasn't demoted gracefully. You need do perform a
metadata cleanup. Also your current DC doesn't look like the PDC owner
( I know you've check once, but please double check). It doesn't hurt
to seize it again.

Q216498
Q255504

From: Bertram on
Hi strongline,

I have performed the steps outlined in the KB's you mentioned - things
are looking a bit more positive, however I get the following error when
running dcdiag:


==========
Starting test: FsmoCheck
Warning: DcGetDcName(PDC_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1355
A Primary Domain Controller could not be located.
The server holding the PDC role is down.
.......................... mydomain.net failed test FsmoCheck

====================

This server is in fact the holder of the PDC role, which I have
verified using ntdsutil.

Any suggestions?

Oh, and for some as-yet unknown reason my DNS zone disappeared again
when I rebooted. Resetting teh kerberos password, and restarting
netlogon/DNS brought it back again.

If anyone has any suggestions for me to try over the weekend (God bless
Remote Desktop and VPNs!) please let me know!

From: Jorge Silva on
Hi again...

Please answer This question:

1 - In your first post after the first test for dcdiag, you said that you
finally got the Dns working with AD integrated right? Please tell us what
did you changed to achive that ?


Now:

1- Remove any references to "tempsvr.mydomain.net" i believe this was the
old server.
use this link:
How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain
controller demotion

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B216498&x=6&y=11#XSLTH3140121122120121120120


After this Use the Active Directory Sites and Services MMC snap-in to remove
the server "tempsvr.mydomain.net" object.
VERY IMPORTANT - Next go to the Dns and remove any references to this
server. Or you can delete the dns zone and recreate it again, using the
steps that i already gave you in previous posts, deleting the netlogon
files, etc...

Reboot the server twice.

Run the tests again..

I hop that helps

Good Luck

From: Bertram on
Hi again!

What finally resolved the DNS issue appears to be resetting the
Kerberos password by running netdom resetpasswd. Upon rebooting the
machine, then starting and stopping netlogon and DNS, the correct
forward zone entries were automatically created.

The problem is not entirely resolved, as I have actually had to do this
again over the weekend, as the problem reared it's ugly head again.

I have followed your instructions and removed any references to
tmpserver - I will reboot it twice shortly.

Apropos the kerberos problem... do you think this is related to the
references to tmpserver? Should it be permanently resolved now that
these references have been removed?

Your help and persistence with this problem are enormously appreciated
- you've saved me pulling out a lot of my hair. You are a credit and
example to this newgroup and the internet in general.

Thanks again,

Berty
