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!

2003 R2 DC not completing initial AD replication with 2000 SP4 DC's

Asked by mikeyyekim in Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: , ,

I am currently replacing my 2000 DC's with 2003 R2 DC's. I successfully ran ADPREP for the forest and domain. Yes, I used the util on the second disk. I promoted my first 2003 R2 to a DC, but I am getting the following when I run a DCDIAG (DC2000_1 and DC2000_2 are my 2000 DC's and DC2003 is the new 2003 R2 DC these are not their actual names, the names have been change to protect the innocent):

Performing initial setup:
   The directory service on DC2003 has not finished initializing.
    In order for the directory service to consider itself synchronized, it must
   attempt an initial synchronization with at least one replica of this
   server's writeable domain.  It must also obtain Rid information from the Rid
   FSMO holder.
    The directory service has not signalled the event which lets other services
   know that it is ready to accept requests. Services such as the Key
   Distribution Center, Intersite Messaging Service, and NetLogon will not
   consider this system as an eligible domain controller.

I have been looking at as many possibilities to no avail. BTW, the 2000 DC's are only about a month behind on updates.
