DCDIAG - Warning - KnowsOfRoleHolders

[Guest]

Hi.

I recieve this warning when I´m running DCdiag. The Server INTELP4 is not a
Domain Controler today, but it used to be before a RAID crash. How do I solve
this?

You need t check out your AD metadata and possibly clean it up.

Look at the FSMO role holders:

Thanks for your answer Paul.

After looking up the FSMO role holders i discovered that the Domain Namning
Master did not have any host. The server that had this role before was called
INTELP4, but that namne is reused and is now an Exchange Server. Is it
possible to recreate the Domain Namning Master in another server or maybe
erase/change the records pointing at INTELP4.

I forgot to write that the servers are running Windows 2000 Server.

Yes you will need to seize the role and cleanup metadata. I'm a little
concerned the replication setup maybe an issue, plus you shouldn't have
re-used the name. Exchange can have replication p;ointers. I'm unsure on
this, you may want to consider calling Microsoft Product Support the links
below will work under normal circumstances, but yours I'm unclear. Use at
your own risk.
