DNS, DCDiag and Netdiag errors in a Single-label domain

M

Matt Fleharty

Hi,
I've got such a small setup but so many problems. I'll describe first
what's going on and what I've tried, then at the bottom of this
message is all my output from dcdiag, netdiag, and ipconfig.
Setup: I've got 1 Domain Controller in 1 single-label Domain. The DC
is Windows 2000 Server SP4. This box is also the DNS server. It's
pointing to itself as the only DNS Server.
Problem: Based on the dcdiag and netdiag output, I'm assuming that
all the errors generated by those are the result of a DNS problem.
I'd like to fix those problems because eventually I want to transfer
all of AD to another machine so that I can upgrade the drives in the
machine currently running AD. The reason I need to get AD off the
machine first is so I can ghost the drives.
But if the problem is with DNS, I can't get my DNS to work correctly.

First, I can't get my subfolders to show up in my FLZ. I've deleted
everything DNS and started from scratch. I deleted the FLZ from DNS
and ADUC; I deleted domain.dns in /winnt/system32/dns and in /backup.
I deleted netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb in /winnt/system32/config.
Then I re-created the FLZ, made it Standard Primary, set Allow Dynamic
Updates to Yes. Tried net stop netlogon and net start netlogon, then
ipconfig /registerdns. Didn't work. Promoted the FLZ to
AD-integrated and did the same process over again. Still didn't work.
I've added the UpdateTopLevelDomainZones registry key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
and rebooted (from MSKB 300684). My FLZ matches my domain name. I
have forwarders enabled and listed. Still, my subfolders don't show
up.

I'm assuming that if I can get DNS working, then I can successfully
run a dcdiag /fix; then I can successfully run DCPROMO on another
machine and transfer the FSMO roles (I tried DCPROMO on the 2nd box
but couldn't get the two machines to replicate), demote the server
we're talking about and ghost the drives!

I should also note that based on the dcdiag output, I thought maybe I
had an SPN problem. So I ran setspn -r nero and got the following
output:
Failed to crack name uspc\nero into the FQDN, (0) 1 0x2

Here's the rest of the output below. Thanks.
Matt
P.S.- Anyone know how to change the thermostat on a '99 Chevy
Cavalier? POSSIBLY a different discussion! :)


DC Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial non skippeable tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\NERO
Starting test: Connectivity
NERO's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name
(a89f99bb-94e6-44e9-ba22-94c3a9fd7f10._msdcs.uspc) couldn't
be
resolved, the server name (nero.uspc) resolved to the IP
address
(192.168.1.3) and was pingable. Check that the IP address is
registered correctly with the DNS server.

This problem is because of your single label domain. I don't know of any fix
without demoting this machine, which removes your Active Directory, and then
repromoting it and creating your domain correctly with a proper domain name.
Of course doing this will cause you to have to recreate all users and all
computer will have to rejoin this new domain. You will never get DNS
populated and thus will not be able to get another DC to join this domain.
Be sure that you know the lcoal administrator password of all your client
PC's before doing this so that you can rejoin them to the domain. When you
create your new domain name use something like mydomain.local or
mydomain.ad. Bascially something that is different than any real domain name
on the Internet. This will save you any hassles down the road. I don't think
there is any other fix unless someone else has an idea.

Another note - don't Ghost Active Directory. If creating another replica
isn't acceptable take a look at backup and restore.

Hi,
I've got such a small setup but so many problems. I'll describe first
what's going on and what I've tried, then at the bottom of this
message is all my output from dcdiag, netdiag, and ipconfig.
Setup: I've got 1 Domain Controller in 1 single-label Domain. The DC
is Windows 2000 Server SP4. This box is also the DNS server. It's
pointing to itself as the only DNS Server.
Problem: Based on the dcdiag and netdiag output, I'm assuming that
all the errors generated by those are the result of a DNS problem.
I'd like to fix those problems because eventually I want to transfer
all of AD to another machine so that I can upgrade the drives in the
machine currently running AD. The reason I need to get AD off the
machine first is so I can ghost the drives.
But if the problem is with DNS, I can't get my DNS to work correctly.

First, I can't get my subfolders to show up in my FLZ. I've deleted
everything DNS and started from scratch. I deleted the FLZ from DNS
and ADUC; I deleted domain.dns in /winnt/system32/dns and in /backup.
I deleted netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb in /winnt/system32/config.
Then I re-created the FLZ, made it Standard Primary, set Allow Dynamic
Updates to Yes. Tried net stop netlogon and net start netlogon, then
ipconfig /registerdns. Didn't work. Promoted the FLZ to
AD-integrated and did the same process over again. Still didn't work.
I've added the UpdateTopLevelDomainZones registry key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
and rebooted (from MSKB 300684). My FLZ matches my domain name. I
have forwarders enabled and listed. Still, my subfolders don't show
up.

I'm assuming that if I can get DNS working, then I can successfully
run a dcdiag /fix; then I can successfully run DCPROMO on another
machine and transfer the FSMO roles (I tried DCPROMO on the 2nd box
but couldn't get the two machines to replicate), demote the server
we're talking about and ghost the drives!

I should also note that based on the dcdiag output, I thought maybe I
had an SPN problem. So I ran setspn -r nero and got the following
output:
Failed to crack name uspc\nero into the FQDN, (0) 1 0x2

Here's the rest of the output below. Thanks.
Matt
P.S.- Anyone know how to change the thermostat on a '99 Chevy
Cavalier? POSSIBLY a different discussion! :)


DC Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial non skippeable tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\NERO
Starting test: Connectivity
NERO's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name
(a89f99bb-94e6-44e9-ba22-94c3a9fd7f10._msdcs.uspc) couldn't
be
resolved, the server name (nero.uspc) resolved to the IP
address
(192.168.1.3) and was pingable. Check that the IP address is
registered correctly with the DNS server.
......................... NERO failed test Connectivity

Doing primary tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\NERO
Skipping all tests, because server NERO is
not responding to directory service requests

Running enterprise tests on : uspc
Starting test: Intersite
......................... uspc passed test Intersite
Starting test: FsmoCheck
......................... uspc passed test FsmoCheck




-------------------------------------------------------------
I got the same output w/ dcdiag /fix.
Next, I ran netdiag /fix. Here's that output:
