Hi all,
At one of our remote sites i have a 2008r2 server that was removed
(dcpromo/forceremoval ) because the tunnel had been down for months.
We finally got the new router out there and although it is slow ( 512k /sat
)the tunnel is pretty stable,
the issue is that I now cannot join the server back to the domain;
It seems that the timeout period for DNS response is expiring before the
request can be responded to;
Ping Times are around 300ms from the remote site to ours
it can locate the SRV correctly , however, it cant locate a DC
the following domain controllers were identified by the query:
DC1
DC2
DC3
DC4
DC5
DC6
However no domain controllers could be contacted.
Common causes of this error include:
- Host (A) or (AAAA) records that map the names of the domain controllers to
their IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.
- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are
not running.
NSLookup comes back in one of two ways
> DC1
Server: DC1
Address: 192.168.1.8
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to DNS.SERVER timed-out
OR
>DC1
Server: DC1
Address: 192.168.1.8
*** DNS.SERVER can't find DC1: Non-existent domain
