Ben you are money. Looks like my ROOTDC and SUBDOMAINDC in my virtual world aren't fully communicating. They can ping by IP but not name, so name resolution troubleshooting ensues..

It sounds to me like you have a global catalog or trust problem, though. If you login with a user in the root domain (in schema admins), is it in your token? Have you done a metadata cleanup of the missing DCs? If you connect to the child domain DC with LDP, is isGlobalCatalogReady==TRUE?

I have VMs of ROOTDC1 and SUBDOMAINDC1 but neither od the "DC2" servers. Roles: Schema master: SUBDOMAINDC1 Domain naming master: ROOTDC1 RID: ROOTDC1 (for root), SUBDOMAINDC1 for subdomain) PDC: ROOTDC1 (for root), SUBDOMAINDC1 for subdomain) Infrastructure: ROOTDC2 (for root), SUBDOMAINDC2 (for subdomain) GC: ROOTDC1, SUBDOMAINDC1 Where do I look to fix my issue?

And doing that...no, I am not! In my sandbox I have cloned 2 of our 4 production DC's - one is a forest root machine and the other is a subdomain DC. Am I possibly missing a critical role master?

When I run the deployment wizard and try to extend the schema it tells me it can't complete the command because I am not in the schema admins group....oohh, but I am! One slight twist is I am using an account from subdomain.nwea.org that is in schema admins group in nwea.org, but as that account is in schema admins it shouldn't matter. Anyone run into this?
