Error " The Target principal name is incorrect"

THANKS

The diagnostic results are beneficial to help you. I realize trying to
post all of them together in one post is too large. The results are only
text based, so all you have to do is copy/paste the results for each run
in a separate post. If it takes 3 or 4 posts, no problem. You can add to
the subject and prefix it with the current subject, such as, "netdiag -
Re: Error " The Target principal name is incorrect." Others normally post
text based results in this fashion. Keep in mind, many in the groups will
not download and open posted files or URL references to files. It's just a
security concern. I hope you understand.

Btw, I didn't see a results in your list for a dcdiag, as Meinolf asked.
Did you run one? If not, please run a "dcdiag /v" and post that along with
the others.

Thanks!

Hello pcnetnet,

For all your DNS server entries on the NIC, choose the real ip address of
the server and not the loopback address 127.0.0.1 After changing you should
also check that the DC's have a secondary entry for DNS server form your
domain internal network. Then restart the NETLOGON service and check again
with the tools for errors.

Hi Meinolf,
If i disconnect the server DC1 on Site A , and the use DC2 on Site A for
main DC , but how to traffer the FSMO to DC2 ? on DC2 change the FSMO .
Thanks

Hello pcnetnet,

You have to disconnect (and NOT reconnect until it is demoted and removed
from AD) or demote the broken DC from the domain. Choose "dcpromo /forceremoval"
if it is not possible with normal demotion.

If you have taken out the problem machine, you have to seize the FSMO roles.

Additional you have to do a metadata cleanup to remove the broken DC from
Active directory.

If it was DNS server cleanup also DNS from the old settings of that DC/DNS.

Hello pcnetnet,

You can try to move the roles. If it doesn't work, disconnect the old DC
and seize the roles.
