RE: [ActiveDir] GC Promotion Problems

[Brian Desmond]

Well, I came in this morning and they all say they're ready if I look in RootDSE, but, 
in one site, querying another domain (in aduc) just returns the contacts for that 
domain. In the other sites, they're still not finding a GC.

        I read your post to say, Hi, I got the 1119 but the GCs are responding as GCs 
even though the RootDSE says they are. My one thought is... Have they been rebooted 
since the 1119?

        I've got a test lab setup with 11 DCs mirroring a production environment. The 
lab is setup on one box using MS Virtual Server. The host is an 8 way 16Gig machine, 
it can handle the load fine. Routing between the three subnets is virtualized with 
RRAS and appears to work fine.
        
        That said, I can't get the GCs promoted right. I just noticed this problem 
today, following a full LDIF import of our environment (close to 2 million objects 
across three domains). I successfully promoted one, and when I ldp against RootDSE, 
isGlobalCatalogReady = True. For the rest of the DCs, they log that they're GCs in the 
event log, but isGlobalCatalogReady = False.
        
        When I goto add an object from another domain into a group, for example, I use 
AD U & C. After selecting the root domain, the listbox which would usually contain the 
principals int he domain says "No objects are available for this location.". I tried 
selecting the other of the two domains, and it just sits with the flashlight searching.
        
        DCDiag and NetDiag passes all tests on each DC, and replication is clearly 
working given all the objects imported across the board.
        
        Any suggestions for resolving this?
        
        Thanks,
