From: Jorge de Almeida Pinto [MVP] on 3 May 2006 16:11 yes, true... I'm just checking, as the possibility is there he could have had another DC which was the owner of the FSMOs and that DC has been pulled out the AD -- Cheers, (HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION HELPS YOU!) # Jorge de Almeida Pinto # MVP Windows Server - Directory Services BLOG --> http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/jorge/default.aspx ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties and confers no rights! * Always test before implementing! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "strongline" <johnlan(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:1146686499.597444.112010(a)i39g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > he did mention that he has only one DC. >

Please Try the following steps: - Make sure that the Dns Settings of the Dc has the IPAddress of the Dc -> Right Click My Network places choose properties -> Right click local area connection choose properties -Select TCPIP and choose properties -> Make sure that in Preferred DNS server you have the Same IP that you have in IP Address. - Uninstall Dns - Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Painel -> Add remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Select Networking Services -> Choose details -> Unselect Dns -> click Ok -> then Next -> next... - Go to c:\windows\system32\config and delete the netlogon.dns and the netlogon.dnb files. - Go to c:\windows\system32\config and delete the Dns Folder. - Install Dns - Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Painel -> Add remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Select Networking Services -> Choose details -> Select Dns -> click Ok -> then Next -> next... - Create Dns Zone - Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Painel -> open DNS console -> create the zone. - go to the command prompt - type in the following order: ipconfig /registerdns (press enter) net stop netlogon & net start netlogon (press enter confirm the creation of the netlogon.dns and the netlogon.dnb files on c:\windows\system32\config ) Netdiag /fix It should be fine now. - After this if you still having problems please post the results here for: netdiag /q -- I hop that helps Good Luck Jorge Silva MCSA Systems Administrator "strongline" <johnlan(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:1146686963.376094.291450(a)g10g2000cwb.googlegroups.com... > sorry my bad, didn't realize that he could have multiple domains. >

Hi guys, This is indeed the only DC in the domain. There was another DC, which have since been removed. FSMO roles were transferred successfully before the old server was removed. netdom query fsmo confirms that this server is holding all five roles - let me know if you want me to post the output for your verification. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling DNS, however I did not delete netlogon.dns and dns/, so I'll try that now. Not sure if it's relevant, but now the server keeps shutting down every hour as it seems to think it is not licensed! Also, I think this is somewhere near the root of the problem: When I try to recreate the active directory partition (using ntdsutil) I am told that I do not have permission to do so, even when I'm logged on as administrator. I added my personal account to enterprise admins and had the same problem. Any advice? Thanks again, I really appreciate the help you guys are giving me! Berty |
