Bad packets and invalid domain names Please help

Guest

I am having some issues with DNS. here is my situation, i am unable to
authenticate any shares or printers on my domain, kerebos logins work fine
however the user to share SID check is not working. upon inspection my dns
log is filling with the following errors.

Event ID: 3000
Source DNS
The DNS server has encountered numerous run-time events. To determine the
initial cause of these run-time events, examine the DNS server event log
entries that precede this event. To prevent the DNS server from filling the
event log too quickly, subsequent events with Event IDs higher than 3000 will
be suppressed until events are no longer being generated at a high rate.

Event ID: 5501
Source DNS
The DNS server encountered a bad packet from X.X.X.X. Packet processing
leads beyond packet length. The event data contains the DNS packet.

Where X.X.X.X is the internal IP of my router.


Event ID: 5506
Source DNS
The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name offset in a packet from
X.X.X.X. The event data contains the DNS packet.

Event ID: 5504
Source DNS
The DNS server encountered an invalid domain name in a packet from X.X.X.X.
The packet will be rejected. The event data contains the DNS packet.

I am at a complete loss as to what i need to do next as i have never seen
this problem before.

all of the information i can find related to these event IDs typically have
to do with a problem with the ISP dns servers IP address causing the problem,
not a router.

The 5504 errors are usually from Exchange Server and if so are (more or less) benign. If you think the errors are from outside
resolutions through your ISPs DNS, disable forwarders in your DNS and just resolve with the root hints - this can correct the bad
packet errors and is a little more secure anyway. If you still can't track them down, you can load up Etherreal or netmon and filter
on port 53 to see what they are. However I wouldn't spend a lot of time wandering down that road unless you can determine that is
the source of the problems you are having.

At any rate, it isn't clear whether these errors, or DNS at all, has anything to do with your issues. It also isn't entirely clear
from your post what the specific problems are.

If you can post a "netdiag /fix" log from a DC and any client-side events that are being logged contemporaneiously with the
problems, it might help determine better what is going on. As a general (not absolute) rule, if a netdiag comes up clean, your
internal DNS is probably configured properly for AD.

Ken:

We need to get the time service problem fixed. The lack of a reliable time source for the domain
will cause all sorts of obscure problems with functions that depend on an accurate time source.
Either the time service isn't working or the PDC role server itself is missing or misconfigured in AD.

First, check that the server's date, time and time zone are all correct. Be sure to check the time zone
as this is easy to overlook and will cause trouble if wrong.

Next, check that the "Windows Time Service" is set to "Automatic" in services, and running. If not, see
if you can start it. If it will not stay running there should be an event in the system event log giving a reason.

Finally, we need to sync the DC to an outside time source. The command "net time /setsntp:<server>"
will set the external time source to an outside server (e.g. net time /setsntp:ntp.ucsd.edu ). You can use
the w32tm command to check the time service, but there are some differences between 2000 and 2003,
the details are here, depending (watch the URL wrap):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnw2kmag01/html/TimeWin2K.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr.../technologies/security/ws03mngd/26_s3wts.mspx

If you've fixed the time service problem then a dcdiag should now pass the advertising test and FSMO role
check. (I'm not concerned about the netcard test since the network - I am assuming - is working, but you may
want to look into this as a driver update issue.)

If the time service isn't the problem, then it the PDC emulator "FSMO" role itself is likely the problem.

Open AD Users and Computers, and right-click on the domain name at the top of the tree. Select
"operations masters" and click the "PDC" tab. This will show you FQDN of the server that active
directory has assigned as the PDC emulator. If this is not a functioning DC it will have to be fixed, so post
back in that case.

At the moment I don't see any DNS-related configuration problems. It is possible there is something
else underneath your time service problem, but that has to be corrected first.

Ken:

We need to get the time service problem fixed. The lack of a reliable
time source for the domain will cause all sorts of obscure problems with
functions that depend
on an accurate time source. Either the time service isn't working or the
PDC role server itself
is missing or misconfigured in AD.
First, check that the server's date, time and time zone are all
correct. Be sure to check the time zone as this is easy to overlook and
will cause trouble if wrong.

Next, check that the "Windows Time Service" is set to "Automatic" in
services, and running. If not, see if you can start it. If it will not
stay running there should be an
event in the system event log giving a reason.
Finally, we need to sync the DC to an outside time source. The
command "net time /setsntp:<server>" will set the external time source to
an outside server (e.g. net time
/setsntp:ntp.ucsd.edu ). You can use the w32tm command to check the time
service, but there are some
differences between 2000 and 2003, the details are here, depending (watch
the URL wrap):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnw2kmag01/html/TimeWin2K.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr.../technologies/security/ws03mngd/26_s3wts.mspx

If you've fixed the time service problem then a dcdiag should now
pass the advertising test and FSMO role check. (I'm not concerned about
the netcard test since the network -
I am assuming - is working, but you may want to look into this as a driver
update issue.)

If the time service isn't the problem, then it the PDC emulator
"FSMO" role itself is likely the problem.
Open AD Users and Computers, and right-click on the domain name at
the top of the tree. Select "operations masters" and click the "PDC"
tab. This will show you FQDN of the server that active directory has
assigned as the PDC emulator. If this is not a
functioning DC it will have to be fixed, so post back in that case.

At the moment I don't see any DNS-related configuration problems. It
is possible there is something else underneath your time service problem,
but that has to be
corrected first.

Steve, good point about the time service and AD's Kerberos service's
reliance on it.

But just to point out, I saw a mix of referenced public IPs and private IPs
in the ipconfig in the netdiag:

Host Name. . . . . . . . . : server1
IP Address . . . . . . . . : 128.127.2.2
Subnet Mask. . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. . . . . . : 128.127.2.3
Primary WINS Server. . . . : 192.168.16.5
Dns Servers. . . . . . . . : 128.127.2.2

IpConfig results . . . . . : Failed
Pinging the Primary WINS server 192.168.16.5 - not reachable

If this is the case, where two DCs (or a DC on one side, and clients on the
other) are on opposite sides of a NAT device, AD communication will not
function across a NAT, unless there's a VPN created between them to allow
communication.

Just for the poster's benefit, NAT cannot traverse LDAP, RPC and Kerberos
calls.

Way good catch - completely missed that.

Since it's the only place where that address shows up and isn't reachable my guess is
that it is probably just a dud IP leftover from days of yore. I don't think it would
explain the other symptoms, but it definitely should be pulled out. WINS is
unnecessary to resolve any of these problems.

Thanks.

I agree WINS is useless here and should be removed. But I'm curious if
there's another card on the machine or if the machine is or was on a
multi-subnetted wire?

Not that it would make a difference, but would the bad WINS address
contribute to the netdiag [ERROR D_FUNCTION] of the NIC test in the results?
I originally thought netdiag uses DNS, but maybe not, but since the WINS
server is not reachable, I don't think it matters and wouldn have anything
to do with failing the NIC test. I searched on that error, but couldn't find
what it is or what can cause it.

Back to the original post with the 5504 errors, that usually indicates an
illegal character in a host name. But what's strange is it's coming from the
router, so maybe an outside source is causing it and causing the NIC test to
fail.
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=5504&eventno=642&source=DNS&phase=1

I've also seen *similar* issues (not saying it's the cause here), in the
past with NICs when an SQL server got slammed with the Slammer and it just
flooded the entire network and affected every machine due to the useless UDP
broadcasts.
