Subject: New Windows 2000 upgrade
Hi,
My current setup is 2x NT4.0 BDC and a single W2K PDC, which was
upgraded
today from NT4.0. This W2K server is also our DNS server.
The install went smoothly and the AD setup appears to have worked
correctly.
DNS also appears to work correctly.
However, whenever one of my W2K workstations attempt to logon to the
domain
they always seem to connect through the NT4.0 BDCs. I then get an event
in
the Event log stating: "EventID 1000, Windows cannot obtain the domain
controller name for your computer network. Return value (59)".
Now, I have confirmed the W2K server is on the network, I can ping it
via
it's fqdn and ip address. I can see network shares on it. I have also
confirmed that DNS is running correctly on the new box. I have run
DCDIAG
and that reports no errors. I have run NETDIAG and that too is clear
apart
from a single error which states "LDAP Test - Failed to query SPN
registration on DC 'gimli.intra.mycompany.co.uk'". Now I don't know
what
it is referrning to here, what's an SPN registration, could this be the
problem?
I have run various nslookup tests and they all work OK. I have done the
following (as seen on Google Groups):-
nslookup
set type=srv
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.intra.mycompany.co.uk
Server: gimli.intra.mycompany.co.uk
Address: 192.168.1.201
and I see the following
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.intra.mycompany.co.uk SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 100
port = 389
svr hostname = gimli.intra.mycompany.co.uk
So this appears to be OK? I have seen articles on Google that seem to
infer
there should be 2 records, is this relevant?
I have looked at eventid.net and they seem to infer a hardware fault,
cable,
switch etc, which it can't be as the server is responding to other
network
calls.
I am completely stumped! My logins are even executing the login scripts
that live on the gimli.intra.mycompany.co.uk server, so it can
definately
see the server.
Please help, this is driving me mad!!!!!!
cheers
Gavin
