Browse All TopicsHi there
I have a few questions around Active Directory, having not much experience with regards to such matters, I would appreciate your advice and feedback:
1. There are 2 x 2003 R2 SP1 in the environment. According to replmon, it seems that replication occurs between these 2 DCs. However, on DC2 there is a series of FRS Journal Wrap errors (event id 13568) dating back to January..... According to the event log, its a matter of making an enable journal wrap automatic restore registry change to resolve the issue. Is this correct? Other sites were talking about non-authoritive restore of AD on DC2??
2. Upon running DCDiag on the environment, i noticed that there is a failure in the VerifyEnterpriseReference
Starting test: VerifyEnterpriseReferences
The following problems were found while verifying various important DN references. Note, that these problems can be reported because of latency in replication. So follow up to resolve the following problems, only if the same problem is reported on all DCs for a given domain or if the problem persists after replication has had reasonable time to replicate changes.
[1] Problem: Missing Expected Value
Base Object: CN=DC3,CN=Computers,DC=dem
Base Object Description: "DC Account Object"
Value Object Attribute Name: serverReferenceBL
Value Object Description: "Server Object"
Recommended Action: Check if this server is deleted, and if so clean up this DCs Account Object.
[2] Problem: Missing Expected Value
Base Object: CN=DC3,CN=Computers,DC=dem
Base Object Description: "DC Account Object"
Value Object Attribute Name: frsComputerReferenceBL
Value Object Description: "SYSVOL FRS Member Object"
Recommended Action: See Knowledge Base Article: Q312862
......................... LPCPTSRVGC01 failed test VerifyEnterpriseReferences
3. The Replmon report shows that there are a number of DELETED SERVERS listed under the Current Transitive Replication Status. Suspecting that this may be due to incorrectly removed DCs I proceeded to check in NTDSUtil > Metadat Cleanup..... These servers are not listed there. Is this to be noted as a concern?

1) Yes, that reg setting should work fine. If it does not, you'll need to follow this article first with the D2 method on the bad server, then if that fails use the D2 and the bad server and D4 on the good server.

2) and 3) Follow Jorge's Blog references to clean everything up. He is a peer DS MVP and rather than repost the steps I will refer you to his instructions.
