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!

Newly installed domain controller cannot contact global catalog server

Asked by johnnyb10 in Microsoft Server, Active Directory, Windows Server 2008

Tags: , , ,

I just installed a second DC in a subdomain of an existing Server 2008 domain. However, I'm getting errors for AD Domain Services and DNS Server on the new domain, and I can't seem to do things I want to do (like create a new DNS zone and delegation). I'm getting an error saying that AD DS (on the new server) is not able to contact the global catalog server. I've tried the following troubleshooting steps (from MS help):
1. Checked network connectivity of DC reporting the error: It's OK, and both DCs can ping each other by IP address or hostname. (One thing I noted, though, is that when pinging by hostname, the address that is returned is an IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 address that I have configured for the server. Could that be related to the problem?)
2. Tested connectivity from new DC to global catalog server using this command: nltest /server:newServer /dsgetdc:mydomain.com. This returns an "ERROR NO SUCH DOMAIN" error.
3. Ensured that my main DC is in fact configured as a global catalog server and that the NTDS service is running. This checked out OK.
4. Tried to test connectivity from the new server to the GC server by right-clicking the server name in Active Directory Users and Computers, clicking Change Domain Controller, and then typing in the GC server's IP address and port (e.g., 192.168.0.211:3268). This failed, as the server status is listed as Unavailable.

I'm at my wit's end, and this is time critical, so any help would be greatly appreciated!Start Free Trial
