Question
problems after adding second domain controller (server 2008)
I'm having a few issues after adding a backup domain controller (2k8) to my existing 2003 domain. Honestly I dont notice any problems or any of my 75 users, internet, file and print services seem to be working okay. But I know that when there are errors on the servers it's only a matter of time when things will stop working... Here's a copy of dcdiag to get started...
I have the PHDOMAIN (Server 2003) server dns pointed to PH-DC-BU (Server 2008) and likewise... The active directory seems to be replicating, I ran into long login times immediately after restarting the PHDomain server... Can anyone help?

Hello,
We are experiencing the same issues with a very similar setup (2003 DCs with 2008 DCs being added). In one of our testing environments we ran the /rodcprep before promoting the 2008 servers to DCs and are still getting the errors. The errors only appear when running the dcdiag against a remote server. We've ran repadmin and it reports successful for all DCs. When running dcdiag against the local server there are no errors.
Not trying to steal the thread, just throwing out some things we've tried in case the solution davesgonebananas mentioned does not work for bootcampwithjess.

bootcampwithjess:
We found the problem to our issue. So I hope that it solves yours as well.
We found that Windows Firewall blocks RPC traffic, even from other domain controllers. To allow your dcdiag tests to work you would need to either disable Windows Firewall, add an exception for "Remote Administration" or identify what ports are used and create an exception.
Hopefully this helps you out.

This is an issue with adding a Windows2008 server to a 2003 domain without first running adprep /rodcprep - it is safe to ignore these errors unless you are planning on adding an RODC to your domain in which case you should run adprep /rodcprep on your domain.
