Hi Matthieu



I tried reproducing the scenario by provisioning Windows 2k8 R2 as external DNS 
server, Windows 2k8 R2 as Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Windows 2k3 Sp2 
as 2nd  Domain Controller and didn't observe additional DRSAddEntry packets 
flowing from 2nd Domain Controller to PDC, capture enclosed. I also replayed 
TTT trace and seems 2nd Domain controller is receiving LDAP ADD Request packets 
triggering it to invoke these additional DRSAddEntry packets.

What are the added info through LDAP that seems to trigger this ?
I also created a local repro with SAMBA server as PDC build dated (5th Nov'11) 
and didn't observe any additional  DRSAddEntry packets, listed below are the 
steps I performed to add the 2nd domain controller. However, it would be 
helpful if you can share the network trace of entire scenario (hopefully LDAP 
packets will be unencrypted) so that I can analyze it in parallel.


Steps to Add 2nd Domain Controller:



1)            Machine was not joined to the existing PDC (test.com)

2)            Selected option "Additional domain controller for an existing 
domain".

3)            Entered the full DNS name of existing domain controller. 
(test.com)
The thing is that I noticed another domain with this behavior.

The other day I was working on a demote bug we had in Samba, so I did the following:

1) created a new forest on a Samba DC:
./source4/setup/provision --realm test.samba.home.matws.net --domain TEST --adminpass totoTATA123 --targetdir=/home/mat/workspace/samba/test

Last two parameters are not really critical they just define the administrator password and the path where the AD database and related file will be stored 2) configured bind 9.8 as indicated http://www.matws.net/pres/sambaxp_2011/#%2811%29 and http://www.matws.net/pres/sambaxp_2011/#%2812%29

3) started windows 2003R2 with the DNS server role activated

4) run dcpromo with the option "Additional domain controller for an existing domain"

5) After the reboot I noticed that the server starts to send DsAddEntry to the PDC in order to create new partitions.

Matthieu.



Thanks

Tarun.

Hi Matthieu - On windows box, I can also see ADDEntry request from 2nd domain 
controller to 1st domain controller during DCPROMO. By below statement, is it 
that you are seeing this packet during DCPROMO or after DCPROMO completes and 
machine restarts ?
You'll see the DsAddEntry during DC promo to create some objects needed for the 
replication, but my point is for after DCPROMO and not for object related to 
the to be promoted DC but for the container for DNS

3)      Scenario when windows DC w/o DNS is trying to create these partitions. 
Is it during domain join or replication or something else ?
So after the DC promo, I see DsAddEntry packet from the second DC to the first 
one.


So is it "normal" that a 2nd DC tries to create the DNS containers after

joining a domain where DNS zones are not stored in the AD ?



Matthieu.

Thanks.

Thanks Matthieu, I am able to load previously shared TTT traces. Will update 
you as soon as I am done with investigation.
