Problem in my first Windows 2003/R2 DC

Orvs · Guest

I inserted my First DC in windows 2003 R2 (DCR2) to my domain after domain
upgrade.
all is fine after the promotion and replicated across to rest of my DCs.

-I found out that in my new DCR2 the DNS setting is not pointing to itself
after the upgrade so I change the DNS setting and restart the DC.. Now guess
what I cannot login... do I have to point DNS to itself for Windows 2003 R2
DC.

If sombeody can assit please

You should have it pointing to itself for primary and another for secondary.
Sounds like there are some dns issues in your domain. So you might want to
run a full set of diagnostics against your domain.

Try running netdiag, repadmin and dcdiag. Look for fail, error and warning
errors.

If you don't have the tools installed load them from your install disk.

d:\i386\adminpak.msi (Server tools for remote management of servers)
d:\support\tools\setup.exe (Server Utilities)

Copy the following to a cmd file and run look for error, fail and warn
within the reports. Post any errors you can't figure out. make sure you
modify DC_Name to the name of a dc in your domain.

@echo off

c:
cd \
cd "program files\support tools"

del c:\dcdiag.log
dcdiag /e /c /v /s:DC_Name /f:c:\dcdiag.log
start c:\dcdiag.log

netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log
start c:\netdiag.log

repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
start c:\repl.txt
