New Win2K3 DC in existing Win2K domain-LDAP problems

Andreas Stephanou

We have a Win2K forest with only one Domain and only 2
Win2K DC's. About 140 Clients are either Win2K or Win XP
Pro.

We are using a BIND 9.2 UNIX based DDNS which accepts
dynamic update requests from all DC's.

This installation functions properly over the last 2-3
years.

I am repeatedly trying to add a Win2K3 DC to our
enviroment without full success. After successfull ADPREP
and AD replication, the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares never
appear on the new Win2K3 DC, obviously because of LDAP
unavailability.

All DNS-records in c:\windows\system32\config\netlogon.dns
of the Win2K3 DC (14 records) are dynamically registered
in the BIND 9.2 DDNS.

When I install Win2K on the same machine, I have no
problems when adding it as a DC to our enviroment.

The following errors and warnings are observed on the
Win2K3 DC:

Can anyone help me out of this situation, or shall I
forget all about Win2K3 and continue with the good old
Win2K?

FILE REPLICATION SERVICE 20:34:00

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: NtFrs
Event Category: None
Event ID: 13565
Date: 01-11-2003
Time: 20:34:00
User: N/A
Computer: RINGSTED
Description:
File Replication Service is initializing the system volume
with data from another domain controller. Computer
RINGSTED cannot become a domain controller until this
process is complete. The system volume will then be shared
as SYSVOL.

To check for the SYSVOL share, at the command prompt,
type:
net share

When File Replication Service completes the initialization
process, the SYSVOL share will appear.

The initialization of the system volume can take some
time. The time is dependent on the amount of data in the
system volume, the availability of other domain
controllers, and the replication interval between domain
controllers.

Can anyone help me out of this situation, or shall I
forget all about Win2K3 and continue with the good old
Win2K?

No, Win2003 is MUCH better than Win2000 and there is no
reason not to continue forward -- you will do so eventually and
the sooner you do this the longer you will enjoy the benefits.

Run that DCDiag on all of the DCs -- save output to a file and
search for FAIL, WARN, ERROR and fix.

Obviously, the LDAP (DCDiag) error from the new machine implies
that either it isn't looking at the right DNS (DNS replicated?) or that
(some of) the other DCs are not fully registered (LDAP SRV) entries.

Focus on proper registration of the DNS subdomain records, those
SRV records. Chance are the problem is originating at the SINGLE
PRIMARY.

Do all of the other DCs specify this SINGLE Primary as their "Preferred
DNS" (in NIC client properties)? Make sure that they DO NOT specify
any DNS server (alternate etc.) that is NOT part of this set.

There is not reason in principle that BIND won't do this but it does seem
sort of like masochism to force yourself to work through this limitation.
