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!

The DNS server was unable to open Active Directory

Asked by 2good2 in Windows 2003 Server

Tags: server, dns, unable, directory, open

I have two DC's: DCA and DCB.
Problem is also that DCA has a problem with DNS, somehow I can't create new zones in the AD. And DCA can't access DCB for example. DCA has all FMSO roles but DCB doesn't see that. On DCA (both are also Exchange Server, intention is to move Exchange IS to DCB and demote and remove DCA) Exchange services won't start. Some errors from the eventlog:

Description:
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/dca.domain.local.  The target name used was ldap/dca.DOMAIN.LOCAL/DOMAIN.LOCAL@DOMAIN.LOCAL. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named  machine accounts in the target realm (DOMAIN.LOCAL), and the client realm.   Please contact your system administrator.

When I try to install the DNS (the AD zones) the following messages appear:

The specified directory partition does not exist.

Hope that someone can help me with this problem....
