Interesting. When you say that the Linux (samba) servers can't talk to 
DC20, what are you seeing? Authentication failures? How is Samba 
configured? NTLM, or Kerberos ? 

Any thoughts of upgrading the 2008 DCs to 2008 R2? See if the issue 
persists?

A reboot does fix the issue. We've rebooted three times this month to fix 
the issue. Oddly, the errors do go back to 12/20/12, but we apparently 
didn't notice the problem in December.

It has never happened on DC20 (our only 2008R2 DC). The Linux servers are 
in the CAL site and can talk to the RODC in the CAL site, all four DCs in 
CORP, but cannot talk to DC20.

We aren't running a daily DCDIAG, but running DCDIAG on DC11 and DC20 both 
report all tests passed.

Here is the frequency of error 1168 on DC11. The error seems to occur 
every time an ADSI edit read fails.

What has been the frequency? any chance you run a daily DCDIAG report? 
What does your replication health look like on a daily basis?

Subject:        DC eventid 1168, bizarre behavior 



Hello,

I've been battling an odd issue with our domain controllers, and am
completely stumped. This seems to have been precipitated by adding a
Read Only Domain Controller and adding a number of Linux samba
servers. The symptoms of the issue follows:

On DC11 (2008 sp2 ReadWrite DC, 2GB ram, virtual machine on ESXi 5.0u2):

0.) cpu usage is low, typically under 5%. Memory is 800M cached. 118M 
free.

1.) In the Directory Service event log the following two errors are 
logged:
*Event ID 1168 - Internal error: An Active Directory Domain Services
error has occured.
Additional data: Error value (decimal): 1450, Error Value (hex): 5aa,
Internal ID: 124048b
*Event ID 1168 - Internal error: An Active Directory Domain Services
error has occured.
Additional data: Error value (decimal): 1450, Error Value (hex): 5aa,
Internal ID: 1240627

2.) This has happened three times on DC11, and once on DC10 (also 2008
sp2). The time that it affected both DC11 and DC10, manually pushing
passwords-to-be-cached to the RODC failed.

3.) Trying to read the properties of an object with ADSI edit
(connected to DC11) returns:
Windows could not load the values for all the attributes. Operation
failed. Error Code:
0x2121. The search failed to retrieve attributes from the database.
00002121: SvcErr: DSID-0312048E, problem 5012 (DIR_ERROR), data 1450.

4.) Attempting to run Windows Update gives Error 0x800705AA, which I
believe is ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCE.

5.) Running 'runas /user:me cmd' fails with "5: Access is denied"

6.) The server appears to continue to service auth requests, and LDAP
binds still work. However, we seem to encounter intermittent issues
with the samba servers during this time.

Site topology:
 CORP:
 DC4, DC5 (server 2003, auto-site coverage disabled by registry)
 DC10, DC11 (server 2008 sp2)

 CAL: connected to CORP
 RODC1 (server 2008 R2, read only domain controller)

 NY: connected to CORP and DRSITE
 NYDC4 (server 2003)

 DRSITE: connected to CORP and NY
 DC3 (server 2003)
 DC20 (server 2008 R2)

DC4 is the Schema Master. All other roles are on DC5.

repadmin /showrepl and dcdiag don't show any errors.

Two additional bits of information. (1) For some reasons, IIS is
installed on the DC10 and DC11 domain controllers. (2) a similar thing
recently happened with our Exchange 2010 server (2008 R2). The same
error with 'runas' failing occured, IIS app pools couldn't restart,
and the windows process activation service couldn't be restarted (also
with error 5 access denied).

I am planning on setting up a new RWDC, physically in CORP but in the
CAL AD site, and seeing if the issue follows the new server or stays
with DC11.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Elijah
