dcdiag er

[Andrew Story]

I run dcdiag daily on all our DC's, but keep seeing this on two of our DC's,
both are on seperate sites.

Starting test: frssysvol
* The File Replication Service Event log test
Error: No record of File Replication System, SYSVOL started.
The Active Directory may be prevented from starting.
......................... SITEADS01 passed test frssysvol

* The File Replication Service Event log test
The SYSVOL has been shared, and the AD is no longer
prevented from starting by the File Replication Service.
There are errors after the SYSVOL has been shared.
The SYSVOL can prevent the AD from starting.
An Warning Event occured. EventID: 0x800034C4
Time Generated: 05/03/2006 03:19:53

The sysvol is shared in the DC''s in question and can be reached via
browsing etc.

Would anyone know why these errors appear?

Hi

This events are shown generaly at system startup, sometimes when the system
is booting the frs isn't started so shows up the 1st message, then after the
frs has started then shows you the second message telling you that the frs
already started etc...

I hop that helps

Thanks for the reply Jorge,

So dcdiag would display these messages, even if the DC hasn't been rebooted
in a while?

I just want to be sure that I'm not going to face any issues relating to the
output from dcdiag.

Thanks again.

Hi

If the FRS already started and you have FRS related errors then something is
wrong...
Generally this relates to bad Dns configuration.

Hmmm

Just installed a new DC and get these now from dcdiag (on the new DC)

Starting test: RidManager

Aloong with these with lots of SAM event ID:16650:

retry the initialization until it succeeds; until that time, account

SAM event logs that may indicate the exact reason for the failure.

Not looking good to me, any ideas chaps, it';s a brand new build and just
been promoted.

No probs sorted, forced replication with DC on another site that holds tha
FSMO roles and left for 5 mins, then waited for replication to occur between
the other DC's listed, not all is OK.
