Browse All TopicsHi Everyone,
Here is my set up:
All domain controllers are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.
ISA-SERVER:
Handles DHCP for 2 segments: 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.10.1.
Traffic between segments is routed and unrestricted.
192.168.0.1 Subnet:
Home to 3 DC's:
DC1-5025 (192.168.0.101)
DC2-5099 (192.168.0.102)
DC3-5099 (192.168.0.103)
192.168.10.1 Subnet:
I want to add:
DC4-5025 (192.168.10.10)
All 4 Servers:
Windows Firewall service is disabled.
Are running 2K8 R2 Enterprise Server.
Can ping one another by name and by IP address
In DC4-5025:
All NIC's except one are disabled.
Only one DNS server is specified (192.168.0.101).
DC4-5025 can join the domain as a member server, but keeps failing DCPROMO. It also fails DCPROMO when trying to join from scratch. I can't remember the exact error offhand, but it fails at the point where DCPROMO is trying to create an NTDS Settings object for DC4-5025. It also says "remote procedure call failed" or "RPC failed" depending on what settings I played with prior to testing/trying. Also, I don't know if this helps, but during DCPROMO, the "Examining DNS Configuration..." prompt takes about 5 minutes to pass, which seemed long to me.
When I plugged the same server (DC4-5025) into the 192.168.0.1 segment (and set a valid IP on that segment, of course), it was able to join the domain, albeit on a second attempt.
Is there some security setting I'm overlooking in 2K8 (R2) that prevents computers in other segments from becoming Domain Controllers? The firewalls are already totally disabled.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

if you can run dcdiag on the box you are trying to join and post it here we can take a look at it. I believe this can also happen if the MTU size on the routers are line level cards are set differently please take a look at the TCP stacks on the box and make sure there is not a conflict in the MTU sizes.
Here's some more info for you.
I wired DC1-5025 to the 0.1 network and assigned it an IP of 192.168.0.104. It ran dcpromo fine (as expected).
I changed the config and put it back on the 10.1 network with the original IP of 192.168.10.10. I can log onto the domain but replication is not working.
Any thoughts?
I am attaching my ISA server config, in case you guys think I've overlooked something there.
TIA.
If replication is not happening,verify
Dns is resolving the hostname.

You can use portquery to verify the ports

Also, run dcdiag/v & check event viewer & post results.

Hi,
Go to the TCP/IP Configuration, -> Advaced -> DNS tab ->
in Append these DNS Suffixes
Add the domain name (xxx.xom)
And then,
Check, Register this connection's address in DNS
In WINS Tab,
Enable Netbios over TCP/IP
Make this changes and check for the same again.
