    - Receiving a File Replication Service error on 2 DC's. The 2 domain controllers receive Event ID's 13555 and 13552 every day a couple of times. Restarting the services did not fix the issue. All domain controllers are running Windows 2003 Standard sp1. These servers were cloned about 5 months ago on new hardware and that's when the problem started. We will be applying service pack 2 later today in hopes of fixing the issue. I would like other alternatives to try and remedy the problem instead of what the logs say. Event ID 13555 The File Replication Service is in an error state. Files will not replicate to or from one or all of the replica sets on this computer until the following recovery steps are performed: Recovery Steps: [1] The error state may clear itself if you stop and restart the FRS service. This can be done by performing the following in a command window: net stop ntfrs net start ntfrs If this fails to clear up the problem then proceed as follows. [2] For Active Directory Domain Controllers that DO NOT host any DFS alternates or other replica sets with replication enabled: If there is at least one other Domain Controller in this domain then restore the "system state" of this DC from backup (using ntbackup or other backup-restore utility) and make it non-authoritative. If there are NO other Domain Controllers in this domain then restore the "system state" of this DC from backup (using ntbackup or other backup-restore utility) and choose the Advanced option which marks the sysvols as primary. If there are other Domain Controllers in this domain but ALL of them have this event log message then restore one of them as primary (data files from primary will replicate everywhere) and the others as non-authoritative. [3] For Active Directory Domain Controllers that host DFS alternates or other replica sets with replication enabled: (3-a) If the Dfs alternates on this DC do not have any other replication partners then copy the data under that Dfs share to a safe location. (3-b) If this server is the only Active Directory Domain Controller for this domain then, before going to (3-c), make sure this server does not have any inbound or outbound connections to other servers that were formerly Domain Controllers for this domain but are now off the net (and will never be coming back online) or have been fresh installed without being demoted. To delete connections use the Sites and Services snapin and look for Sites->NAME_OF_SITE->Servers->NAME_OF_SERVER->NTDS Settings->CONNECTIONS. (3-c) Restore the "system state" of this DC from backup (using ntbackup or other backup-restore utility) and make it non-authoritative. (3-d) Copy the data from step (3-a) above to the original location after the sysvol share is published. [4] For other Windows servers: (4-a) If any of the DFS alternates or other replica sets hosted by this server do not have any other replication partners then copy the data under its share or replica tree root to a safe location. (4-b) net stop ntfrs (4-c) rd /s /q c:\windows\ntfrs\jet (4-d) net start ntfrs (4-e) Copy the data from step (4-a) above to the original location after the service has initialized (5 minutes is a safe waiting time). Note: If this error message is in the eventlog of all the members of a particular replica set then perform steps (4-a) and (4-e) above on only one of the members. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Event ID: 13552 The File Replication Service is unable to add this computer to the following replica set: "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" This could be caused by a number of problems such as: -- an invalid root path, -- a missing directory, -- a missing disk volume, -- a file system on the volume that does not support NTFS 5.0 The information below may help to resolve the problem: Computer DNS name is "mcgcpdc.co.mchenry.il.us" Replica set member name is "MCGCPDC" Replica set root path is "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" Replica staging directory path is "c:\windows\sysvol\staging\domain" Replica working directory path is "c:\windows\ntfrs\jet" Windows error status code is FRS error status code is FrsErrorMismatchedJournalId Other event log messages may also help determine the problem. Correct the problem and the service will attempt to restart replication automatically at a later time.

    - Drive mapping problem Hi everyone This maybe a simple problem, but i have yet to find an answer! All our users get drives mapped when they logon in the morning. But one user has to re-map one of their drives 90% of the time. There are no errors or explanations as to why he has this problem and all of his other drives map ok. He is using Windows XP and all hardware is the same as the other users Can anyone assist? Thanks Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125603

    - Trust Hi there, I have 2 forests, a.net and b.net. I have placed a 2-way transitive trust between them. Even though, child1.a.net can't see objects in child1.b.net and vice-versa. What I did was create a shortcut trust between both child domains and that worked fine. I'm still trying to figure out why the 2-way transitive trust did not work as expected. Both domains are 2003 SP1 native mode. -- NetAdmin <SÃ£o Paulo, BR> Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125600

    - Audit moved computer object? In terms of auditing, can I find out which user moved a computer object from one container/OU to another? Is this type of object auditing turned on if I have audit directory service access turned on in the Default DC Policy or do I have to enable it separately? Is this logged on all DCs or do I have to search each DC individually for the event ID? What event ID would it be? Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125593

    - logon script policies we use a combo of batch file and kixtart scripts for our logon process. I'd like to get the logon script process into a GPO as opposed to putting the batch file name in every user profile. First, I just want to confirm this is the best way to do it - I would think so as right now we have many users that don't have the logon script field properly set, most likely because the person who created the account didn't follow the proper steps! Second, Do I need to include all of the logon-script related files in the policy, or is it perfectly acceptable to just add the batch file that does the calling into the policy and include lines like the following in the batch file that calls files in the netlogon share : \\%logonserver%\netlogon\files\kix32.exe \\%logonserver%\netlogon \script.kix or... %0\..\files\kix32.exe %0\..\\netlogon\script.kix ...and speaking of which, are one of the methods better than the other for referring to files in the netlogon share from a logon script??

    - one big reverse lookup zone Hi! Our AD has about 26,000 computers. Right now we've got a messy mix of Class B and Class C reverse-lookup zones that I want to clean up. At first I was considering changing them all to class B's and getting rid of the Class C's, but then I was thinking.... what about creating one giant Class A reverse-lookup zone? The entire network is on the same first octet, and none of the addresses are routable on the internet, so in essence we own the entire class A range.

    - Query DHCP Lease Duration Information Hi, We want to query for the lease duration of a subnet scope on DHCP server remotely in our product. We don't have clue from where we can read this information in case DHCP server is present on windows 2003 platform. On windows 2000 server we read registry to find all the DHCP subnet information, but that information in not present in registry if DHCP server is on windows 2003 platform. Following things which we tried returned only half information. 1) DhcpGetSubnetInfo API returns only some information like subnet name, comment, and subnet mask. It doesn't give other information like IP range and Lease duration. 2) We tried using COM (DHCPObjs) object (present in Windows 2000 resource toolkit). But it doesn't give Lease duration. Is there any other way to find Lease Duration either through Registry, WMI, dhcp.mdb(DHCP database) or any other source? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. ~Somesh Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125572

    - There must be an easy answer to this one.. How would i export all avilable attributes (be they populated or not) for a user object? I can view them by scrolling through an accounts properties in ADSI Edit, but i'd like to have them in a single list i can view and make notations on. Even better would be a link that lists all the attributes along with an explanation for each one. ..But i'm not greedy, i'll settle for only the list at this point. Thanks in advance.

    - Error lsasvr 40690 Hi all, I have been having this error on one of our domain controler (cut and paste of the event at the end of the post). It's repeated every 1:30 to 2 hours and has been going on for 2 weeks. I have made an extensibe search both on microsoft website and google (web) and I couldn't find anything that apply to this error. I have also made a complete diagnostic of the server with dsdiag, netdiag, nltest and nothing comes out, all diagnostics indicate that the server is fonctionning correctly without any error. The IP configuration is correct, the account is not disabled or erase and at this point I can't figure out what is wrong or if I even need to be worriedÂ. One last thing, it as been a while since the server has been rebooted. I plan on doing it this afternoon and see if it makes a difference.

    - Adding Win2003 Server R2 to Non-SP Win2003 Server Domain Our sole DC is a W2003 Server without any service packs. The system partition is too small to allow me to SP this machine. I am planning on taking this machine down and replacing drives after I get this new machine up and running. OS on new machine is W2003 Server R2. The AD schema on the existing DC needs to be extended via ADPREP.

    - How to rename domain.com to domain.local? Hi there, I recently posted about was it wrong to use company-name.com as our Forest/Domain and should company-name.local be used. The suggestions were to use .local where possible but as we already have .com I have decided to leave it as everyone said it is OK if not causing problems.

    - AD DNS Zone question - Dynamic Updates I had someone ask me a question the other day that I wasn't totally sure the answer to. Let's say you have an active directory dns zone, either integrated or primary, and you have dynamic updates turned off. So I realize that no clients will be able to update or create host records in the zone. However, let's say you make domain controller changes, such as bringing up a new DC and making it a GC. Will the SRV records be updated within the zone for the domain controller(s)? Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125511

    - Main differences between Enterprise CA and Standalone CA ? Hi, one people in my team has made a project with a standalone CA but we are thinking about installing an Enterprise CA as we are using Active Directory. We don't have any special needs actually but the advantage to have the Enterprise CA is the auto-enrollment so we would like to install it for the project and not anymore the standalone CA. My question is, what differences should we have to know about the installation of an Enterprise CA in place of a Standalone CA ? (or more exactly what default options should I have to change on the Enterprise CA to work as if I was using a Standalone CA?) For example, I am thinking about changing the default value of autoenrollment in the Enterprise CA ( Policy Modules/Properties/Set the certificate request status to pending). But is there anything else ? Thank you -- Pascal Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125505

    - Active Directory login seems too fail, shares not corrensponding . Hello people, have abit of a problem, will try to explain below. (I am very new to this so go easy on me). We recently installed a new fiberoptic for WAN communication. In this process we changed our entire network subnet and ip scope. We have a different means of distributing ip-adresses to clients then we had before. Now, everything works fine up to the point when it comes to login in to server from a client. Login scripts, connections to shares - doesn't seem to register upon logon. Running from the server itself it looks fine, no problems there. If one tries to connect to a share from a client the message "networkpath could not be found .. " appears. I can ping the DC, works fine. Run nslookup (dns), works fine and such - but not get the shares to work / run login scripts from clients. Any ideas? I've basically given up on this because I really do not know what to look for or where to start. And it's really not in my job description either. Any help is appreciated.

    - NTDS KCC 1308 Seems like I have some issues with replication... I have an exisiting W2k domain and I have added a secondary DC running W2003 R2 to the domain. Here is the error message I'm receiving on the new secondary DC running Windows 2003. Source: NTDS KCC Category: Knowledge Consistency Event ID: 1308 The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected that successive attempts to replicate with the following domain controller has consistently failed. Attempts: 20 Domain controller: CN=NTDS Settings,CN=name,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain name,DC=com Period of time (minutes): 129 The Connection object for this domain controller will be ignored, and a new temporary connection will be established to ensure that replication continues. Once replication with this domain controller resumes, the temporary connection will be removed.

    - Network Infrastructure Hi Guys, Hope Im in the right group. Im in a stage of fixing my network. This is my current setup. 1. I have an active directory server, which is mydomain.com, wherein also my DNS and DHCP is located. 2. My subnet is 255.255.255.0 This is my idea. 1. Have these servers: (Need suggestions on these) a. AD Server with DNS Server - is this a good practice? b. DHCP Server with ISA Server - is this a good practice? Other concern: I want my network to have access limitations. Here is a scenario. 1. In our network, only managers can use their laptop to access our network and internet. It can be wired or wireless. Unauthorized laptop should or must not access our network. But from the way the network was setup, they can access it through wire. I can filter the wireless using MAC Address filter from the routers. But if they connect through wire and know how to config TCP/IP they can easily access our network. Can this be avoided through ISA? Is there a way to filter MAC Address through Active Directory? Hope you can help me on this. Thanks in advance. Allan Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125487

    - Parent - Child Domain Trust Relationship - Cannot modify trust Hello, I am not able to modify my trust relationship between a child and parent domain. AD Domains and Trusts setup a two-way Transitive trust - shortcut relationship. I do not want the parent domain trust the child, I do not want users in the child domain to have access to the parent (one-way trust), but the Remove button is grey out and I cann't add a trust because one already exits. There appears to be no option to modify the settings. Second, I attempted three times to create this child domain using Microsoft Docs, it never worked. It doesn't create the child domain zone file, Even though the DNS test during the Child's dcpromo tested good. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/e3f241b5-82a0-4c24-a56a-bfc00ce1b5c21033.mspx?mfr=true After the child domain was created, replication failed due to DNS failure. I ended up manually configuring DNS an setup the Child with DNS delegation. I assume this the only way it will work? I don't know if the problems are related to modifing my trust relationship now. My DNS and DS error event logs went away. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255248 Thank you for your help. Don Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125482

    - AD/LDAP without the DC? Is it possible to have a live replica of an AD domain without serving as a domain controller? For various reasons (mostly management concerns) we would like to dedicate a server for LDAP queries, but not have the system availble for authentication. We thought about using a DC in a seperate site, but with replication taking 15 minutes between sites (we're still in a Win2K functional level), mgt really didn't like that option. Thanks in advance.

    - Lose Authentication Hey, A small problem I've been having lately is that users who are logged on to the domain seem to lose their authentication randomly. They'll suddenly be asked for their password when viewing their e-mail (exchange setup), they can no longer access network drives, and need to reboot 3 times or so until they can even log back into windows after logging out. We have a very simple setup, 2 AD servers with about 20 client machines. I don't beleive is a replication issue or anything like that, but I'm not sure where to even start checking for this issue. Does anybody have any ideas? The server is running Windows 2k3 and the client machines are running Windows XP SP2 (both have the latest updates/hot fixes). Any guidance on where to start trouble shooting would be really appreciated! -Prateek Tag: W2k3 Domain Controllers running on Windows 2003 Std 64bit? Tag: 125462

    - Rename DC Hi, The Windows 2003 MCSE Self Paced Training Kit says in order to rename a domain controller you have to use NETDOM.EXE (p.4-19). Is this necessary or can I just rename the DC and reboot? When it comes back up and starts the netlogon service won't it just re-register its SRV records in DNS/AD? Thanks.

Things seem to work fine for that user on another computer, and if I logon to her computer the query works fine as well. here is the C# code I'm using to do the query: private static DirectoryEntry GetUserEntry( WindowsIdentity ident ) { string directoryServer; DirectorySearcher searcher; DirectoryEntry domainEntry, result; SearchResult results; string userName; result = null; using ( domainEntry = new DirectoryEntry( "LDAP://rootdse" ) ) { directoryServer = domainEntry.Invoke( "GET", "defaultNamingContext" ).ToString(); } if ( string.IsNullOrEmpty( directoryServer ) ) { throw new InvalidOperationException( Properties.Resources.CannotDetermineDirectoryServer ); } if ( directoryServer.StartsWith( @"\\" ) ) { directoryServer = directoryServer.Substring( 2 ); } using ( domainEntry = new DirectoryEntry( string.Format( "LDAP://{0}", directoryServer ) ) ) { userName = ident.Name; if ( userName.IndexOf( @"\" ) > -1 ) { userName = userName.Substring( userName.IndexOf( @"\" ) + 1 ); } using ( searcher = new DirectorySearcher( domainEntry, string.Format( "SAMAccountName={0}", userName ) ) ) { results = searcher.FindOne(); result = results.GetDirectoryEntry(); } } return result; } The initial part seems to succeed (querying for the rootdse), but finding the SAMAccount is failing for some reason.

What are the benefits of running Windows 2003 Domain Controllers on Windows
2003 std 64bit? Is there any gotcha's?

gotchas --> compatibility with apps

PROS: when talking about AD, if your NTDS.DIT file is larger than 2,5 GB,
with 64 bit DCs and enough RAM you can load the DIT in memory

also see: "Active Directory Performance for 64-bit Versions of Windows
Server 2003" (google for it)
