Hi,

I have two servers. In first I have the Active Directory
and DNS installed. In the other server I have only the
Active Directory.

I had that to restore a backup in the first server
(Registry,Active Directory and SYSVOL). Now the first
server does not found the account of second server and
does not make the duplication of the files. The Event View
is ID 1411 The Object DSA was not found.

Can somebody help me please?

TKs.

Hi edurado

This happens when the NTDS Settings object may already be removed from
Active Directory as the result of another administrator removing the NTDS
Settings object, or replication of the successful removal of the object
after running the DCPROMO utility.

You may also see this error when you try to bind to the domain controller
that is going to be removed. Ntdsutil has to bind to a domain controller
other than the one that is going to be removed with metadata cleanup.

Type quit at each menu to quit the Ntdsutil utility. You should receive
confirmation that the connection disconnected successfully

Remove the cname record in the _msdcs.root domain of forest zone in DNS.
Assuming that DC is going to be reinstalled and re-promoted, a new NTDS
Settings object is created with a new GUID and a matching cname record in
DNS. You do not want the DC's that exist to use the old cname record.

As best practice you should delete the hostname and other DNS records. If
the lease time that remains on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
address assigned to offline server is exceeded then another client can
obtain the IP address of the problem DC.

Now that the NTDS Settings object has been deleted, you can delete the
computer account, the FRS member object, the cname (or Alias) record in the
_msdcs container, the A (or Host) record in DNS, the trustDomain object for
a deleted child domain, and the domain controller.

I have attached a link which explains you how to use adsi edit to edit the
computer account..
