Well, I have quite a few weird things going on. Roles: (both DCs in same site) DC2 = PDC role, RID pool manager DC1 = Infrastructure owner, schema owner, domain role owner
When I look at the Operations Masters... -> from DC1 It shows ERROR for RID & PDC, & shows DC1 in Infrastructure -> from DC2 it shows ERROR for PDC, & shows DC2 for RID & DC1 for Infrastructure So neither DC1 or DC2 know who the PDC is. (It should be DC2) When I use the "netdom query fsmo": -> from DC1 it shows the roles as it should like above -> from DC2 it shows the PDC role as DC1 rather than itself 1. When I try to manually replicate from DC2 to DC1 I get an error about "Target Principal Name Incorrect" After completing Article ID 288167 about resetting password (netdom resetpwd) and trying to replicate, I get a tombstone error between the 2 domains saying it has exceeded tombstone lifetime and cannot continue. 2. When I try to manually replicate from DC1 to DC2 I get the same error about "Target Principal Name Incorrect" but this is where I've stopped because DC2 is supposed to be the PDC and the KB article makes it sound like the PW should only be reset on the non PDC machines. All in all, my PDC seems to have amnesia and doesn't seem to remember that it's the PDC Thanks, -- Matt Brown [ SELECT * FROM IT WHERE EyeContact=True ] Information Technology System Specialist Eastern Washington University -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 8:53 AM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Error in PDC Operations Master What does the machine question report within its event log? -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Brown Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Error in PDC Operations Master My Dcdiag output shows the following error: ############################# Starting test: KnowsOfRoleHolders Warning: STF2 is the PDC Owner, but is not responding to DS RPC Bind.

The only recent change that I can think of to the server was I uninstalled & re-installed the Certificate Authority 3 or 4 times, which was installed on the PDC.
