2001 - Installation of new network including Dell rack with 5 Dell servers,
all are Windows 2000 Server w/SP4. One domain controller, COLCODC1 with DNS,
AD, WINS, DHCP. Domain name is colonial.net and is at the root of the
forest. Shares for installation files, user private folders and public
folders.
2002 - New Dell server installed as second DC, COLCODC2, with DNS, AD, WINS,
DHCP W/different scope. DFS used to replicate shares for shared data, TS
user profiles, installation files, etc. from COLCODC1 to COLCODC2 for data
redundancy. Logon script drive mappings modified to use domain/DFS share
convention instead of server/share convention.
2006 - Users encounter version errors on shared documents, DFS shares on
COLCODC1 not getting replicated. Logon script modified back to server/share
convention to shares on COLCODC2.
01/2007 - Server COLCODC2 fails with no backup available to restore from.
Server rebuilt from scratch, discovered that niether server possess AD Roles
(IE.: FSMO, RPS Emulator). MS Product support contacted for assistance in
assigning all roles to COLCODC2.
02/2007 - Attempted to re-enstate DFS on COLCODC1, but encoutnered many
problems. Used MS Knowlege Base Article Q272279 HOW TO: Troublewshoot the
File Replication Service and the Distributed File System to resolve errors,
not successful. Used MS Knowlege Base Article Q224384 HOW TO: Force Deletion
of DFS configuration to delete current DFS configuration and also encountered
errors in the process. The NTFRS Event Viewer log of both DC servers show
event ID 13562 about warning and errors encountered by FRS while polling
itself. Something about the NTFRS subscriber object for the former DFS share
on the other DC has an invalid value for the attribute frsMemberReference.
This is keeping AD from being modified, another symptom of this is that users
that are not members of a certain security group are granted access to MS
MapPoint. Reluctant to use any method described in MS Knowlege Base Article
312862 Recovering missing FRS objects and FRS attributes in Active Directory
due to inexperience with editing metadata.
06/2007 - Used NetDiag and DCDiag on both DCs for troubleshooting and
collected log files. Ran MS Reporting Tools.
COLCODC2 - Skipped Trust Relationship Test
Any help appreciated.
