DC Promo / DNS

C

Chris Saia

I may have posted this message twice by accident. I'm just getting setup on the newsgroups. My problem:

I have two Win2K servers. One is the DC and DNS server. The other is simply a member server. I want to promote the memberserver to become a DC. My DNS setup is completely internal with fowarding to our DSL's providers DNS. There is full comminication between the DC and the member server. However when I try to run DC promo on the member server I get the error message below.

Other notes:

1.AD integrated zones setup on DC
2 Dynamic forwarding is enabled
3. The DNS on the member server is pointing to the IP of the DC.
4. On the DC, I'm missing the four subzones from my foward zone setup. I've tried "ipconfig /registerdns" to get those four subs created but it didn't work
5. I've restarted the net logon service several times.
6. The Sysvol share exists.

Error:

"The wizard cannot gain access to the list of domains in the forest.
This condition may be caused by a DNS lookup problem. For information
about troubleshooting common DNS lookup problems, please see the
following Microsoft Web site:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=5171. The error is:

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted."

I ran netdiag fix on the DC and below is the output.

Thanks for posting that info up front. I have a few questions...


1. Is sammys.lajolla your Active Directory domain name or should it have
been sammys.lajolla.com ?

2. What is the spelling of the zone name in DNS?

3. What is your primary DNS suffix on this machine?

4. Is Dynamic Updates set to at least "YES" in the zone properties?

5. Also what do you mean by this statement below?
2 Dynamic forwarding is enabled
Click to expand...

6. Can we also see an ipconfig /all?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the netdiag, that is a good start to resolving your
issue.
We need a little more info, can you please
1. post your ipconfig /all
2. Post AD domain name from ADU&C?
3. Post results from this test: netdiag /v /test:dns

AD name is Sammys.lajolla (I'm wondering if this counts as a single word AD)

2. What is the spelling of the zone name in DNS?

lrgfs1.sammys.lajolla (this is on the DC)
lrgfs2.sammys.lajolla (on the memberserver i want to promote)
3. What is your primary DNS suffix on this machine?
Sammys.lajolla


4. Is Dynamic Updates set to at least "YES" in the zone properties?
Yes

Thanks for posting that info up front. I have a few questions...


1. Is sammys.lajolla your Active Directory domain name or should it have
been sammys.lajolla.com ?

2. What is the spelling of the zone name in DNS?

3. What is your primary DNS suffix on this machine?

4. Is Dynamic Updates set to at least "YES" in the zone properties?

5. Also what do you mean by this statement below?
2 Dynamic forwarding is enabled

6. Can we also see an ipconfig /all?

Thanks!

1. Is sammys.lajolla your Active Directory domain name or should it have
been sammys.lajolla.com ?

2. What is the spelling of the zone name in DNS?

3. What is your primary DNS suffix on this machine?

4. Is Dynamic Updates set to at least "YES" in the zone properties?

5. Also what do you mean by this statement below?
2 Dynamic forwarding is enabled

Thanks!

Kevin, thank you. You should see the answers to all of your
questions in my first reponse post. Here is the results of the
netdiag dns test: Again, I'm setting up internal DNS only. Thanks

2. What is the spelling of the zone name in DNS?

lrgfs1.sammys.lajolla (this is on the DC)
lrgfs2.sammys.lajolla (on the memberserver i want to promote)

Delete these two zones, then in the DC create one zone named sammys.lajolla,
make it AD integrated, set it to allow zone updates then run netdiag /fix

When you promote the Member it will get the zone.

You da man! That was it. The only other thing I had to do after I created
the new zones was restart the netlogon service. Once I did that all the
errors in netdiag /fix were gone! And I was able to promote the member
server to a DC.

As a followup , now that I have two DC's, I want to plan for disaster (my
preferred DC, LRGFS1 goes down). Where should I start with getting the AD
info from the first DC (LRGFS1) over to the new DC (LRGFS2). And is there a
way I can have it so everytime I create an account on the preferred DC that
the account replicates to the AD on the alternate DC.

Thanks again to Kevin and Ace.

Kevin,

Nix that last question. I see all the AD info from the preferred DC
automatically is put into the new DC. But...if the first DC was to go down,
is all that account info actually stored on the second DC or is it just
reading the info from the first DC?

Both DCs have writable databases, although the first DC holds the five FSMO
(Flexible Single Master of Operations) roles for now, you can transfer all
or any of the FSMO roles to the other DC. Do a Google search to find info to
help you understand these roles.

Just to add, best practice dictates to move the Infrastructure Master to the
DC that is NOT a GC. And just to clarify, both DCs are replicas of your
domain AD database, which means they both have an exact copy of the
database, so if one were to fail, follow Kevin's advise to seize roles to
the good one.
