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!

Active directory questions

Asked by jafar54 in Windows 2003 Server, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Active Directory

Hi 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 VerifyEnterpriseReferences test. It is indicating that there are missing expected values for a server called DC3. I have checked AD Sites and Services, Replmon, NTDSUTIL, there are no references to this server. However there is an AD Computer object for DC3 under the default Computers OU, and its role is a Domain Controller. Can I just simply delete this? There is also a NS record for DC3 in the reverse lookup zones.

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=demo,DC=co,DC=za
             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=demo,DC=co,DC=za
             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?
