RE: [ActiveDir] dns issues

[Eric Fleischman]

I’d probably recommend a few action items here: 1)       On DC,� perform a dcdiag /v and netdiag /v as well; look for failure and be sure to clear them up 2)       On client, point to same place that DC is pointed for DNS 3)       If all else fails, a userenv log and network trace of client boot (trace taken from a second machine that is on a little hub with affected client) should show us what client is waiting on during bootup   A few questions: 1) Are client and DC on same subnet? 2) Where are client and DC pointed for DNS (primary and secondary would be great) 3) What is connectivity between client and dc (same subnet, across a wan, etc.)   Hope this is a helpful start! ~Eric     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 5:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dns issues   i bounced the server, srv records are all there. the old server is not in dhcp and an nslookup in safe mode shows me there is connectivity to dns server and all the prpoer srv reords are enumerated. i hahdn't hpought of ms04-011. what are some other symptoms? thanks -----Original Message----- From: deji Agba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 5/19/2004 3:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dns issues More likely DNS than WINS. Trying bouncing the new Server, then restart netlogon on it (in case the MS04-011 is hurting you), then check DNS for the relevant SRV records. I know you said you looked in DHCP, but I have to ask if you made sure that the dead DC is no listed as a DNS server in your DHCP scopes. And, after the client have connected in "Safe Mode", what does nslookup say?   Lastly, anything in eventlog (on both server and clients?   Sincerely, D�j� Ak�m�l�f�, MCSE MCSA MCP+I Microsoft MVP - Directory Services www.readymaids.com - we know IT www.akomolafe.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday?  -anon   From: Mulnick, Al Sent: Tue 5/18/2004 2:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] dns issues WINS?   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 5:17 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] dns issues   I had my primary fsmo role holder(pdc,infra,rid) go down. It was also a dns server(ad intergrated). i ran ntdutil and removed the server from AD. I also had another dns server running. I transfered all the fsmo roles to this server. Now however, i have a ton of what i think are dns issuses. I have clients who are stuck at "applying security settings" and never logon(however, they can when in safe mode with networking). also, i tried to join a workstation to my domain and it gave me a "connot contact domain" error. the clients are all pointing to the new dns server via dhcp. there are no errors in the dns log or in directory services log. this is a child domain and the zone was delegated from the root.   what gives? thanks List info�� : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ��� : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info�� : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ��� : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
