The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows 2003 as additional domain controller with OSX 10.3.8 server

Asked by M_A_D_C_A_T in Apple Networking, Appletalk

Tags: error, rcode_name_error, 0x0000232b, domain

Hi

I have an existing OSX 10.3.8 server serving 100+ mac and windows machines on a network.
The mac server runs AFP, DHCP, DNS, NetBoot, NFS, OpenDirectory, MacManager (for OS9 clients) and Windows services.

My named.conf file:

// Declares control channels to be used by the rndc utility.
// It is recommended that 127.0.0.1 be the only address used.
// This also allows non-privileged users on the local host to manage
// your name server.
//
controls {
      inet 127.0.0.1 port 54 allow {any; };

};
options {
      directory "/var/named";
      forwarders {
                  172.18.0.121;
                  172.18.0.122;
            };
      allow-transfer {none;};
      recursion true;
      /*
       * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
       * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
       * directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
       * questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
       * port by default.
       */
      // query-source address * port 53;
};

//
// a caching only nameserver config
//
zone "." IN {
      type hint;
      file "named.ca";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
      type master;
      file "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.zone";
      allow-update { none; };
};

zone "mitcham.sch" IN {
      file "mitcham.sch.zone";
      type master;
};

zone "128.71.10.in-addr.arpa." IN {
      file "128.71.10.in-addr.arpa..zone";
      type master;
};

zone "DNS" IN {
      forwarders {
                  172.18.0.121;
                  172.18.0.122;
            };
      type forward;
};

logging {
      channel _default_log  {
            file "/Library/Logs/named.log";
            severity info;
            print-time yes;
      };
      category default {
            _default_log;
      };

};

I have a windows 2003 server on the network serving terminal services. I have joined the win2k3 box to the domain controlled by the Mac server. Clients can log into the terminal server using domain accounts; it authenticates against the mac server, they get their home drive mounted etc etc

My Problem:

I would like to set the terminal server up so that the PCs on the network get group policy settings from the win2k3 server, since OSX servers cannot serve group policies.

I assume the first step is to add the active directory role to the win2k3 server and set it as an additional domain controller.

When I attempt to run the active directory installation wizard, I receive the following error when I enter the "network credentials" section of the wizard:

The domain name MITCHAM might be a NetBIOS domain name.  If this is the case, verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.

If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain MITCHAM:

The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
(error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.MITCHAM

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV records required to locate a domain controller for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a domain controller is added to a domain. They are updated by the domain controller at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with following IP addresses:

10.71.128.51

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:

MITCHAM
. (the root zone)

For information about correcting this problem, click Help.

Is what I'm attempting to do even possible?; or is it a case of my DNS settings being incomplete? Do I have to be running 10.3.9 server or even 10.4 server?

I am not interested in managing user or computer domain accounts from the windows server - I just would like to be able to serve group policies.
