asked on

Win2K3 DC in existing Win2K domain-SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares never appear! LDAP and FRS problems :-( WHYYYYY?????

HAVE THE REST OF MY POINTS AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW!

We have a Win2K forest with only one Domain and only 2 Win2K DC's. Our aprox. 140 clients are either Win2K or Win XP Pro.

We are using a BIND 9.2 UNIX based DDNS which accepts dynamic update requests from all DC's.

This installation functions properly over the last 2-3 years.

I am repeatedly trying to add a Win2K3 DC to our enviroment without full success. After successfull ADPREP and AD
replication, the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares never appear on the new Win2K3 DC, obviously because of LDAP unavailability.

All DNS-records in c:\windows\system32\config\netlogon.dns of the Win2K3 DC (14 records) are dynamically registered in the BIND 9.2 DDNS.

When I install Win2K on the same machine, I get no problems at all, when adding it as a DC to our enviroment.

The following errors and warnings are observed on the Win2K3 DC:

Can anyone help me out of this situation, or shall I forget all about Win2K3 and continue with the good old Win2K?

Dear PashaMod,

the problem is now referred to MS in Redmond. No mortal persons on this earth can solve it. I know of at least one more person having the same problem. The person found me on your site!

I will return with the very prescious answer, if and when Redmond replies, as long as you do not delete the question.

The choice is yours.

Thank you very much for your service.

Kind regards,

Andreas Stephanou

Dear all,

some more information on the problem of introducing Win2K3 DC's in Win2K domains:

I have until now found two more persons having the same unsolved problem. They both use Win2K AD-integrated DDNS! One of them is a Microdoft Active Directory Consultant!

I worked with a Microsoft Senior Technology Specialist on our installations without being able to solve the problem. The problem is in the hands of Redmond now and is registered by another user with a MS Suport Case number.

Here are some interesting observations we made in our environment:

1. I cannot introduce a Win2K3 DC in my existing Win2K domain
(consisting of two Win2K DC's and about 140 Win2K/XP pc's in a forest
with only one domain).
      
2. I have the same problem, when I try to introduce a Win2K3 DC in a
child domain to my existing domain.
      
3. I have the same problem, when I try to introduce a Win2K3 DC in a
parallel domain to my existing domain, in the same forest.
      
4. I have no problems at all, introducing a Win2K3 DC in a Win2K domain
in a NEW forest.
      
5. The results are the same both with a BIND 9.2 DDNS and Microsoft
Win2K DDNS.
      
KONKLUSION: The problem cannot be related to the existing domain
(security settings, policies etc, DNS), since it appears in new domains
in same forest, too. The problem must be related to some forest-wide
information like the Schema, since it disappears when I test in a new
forest.
Dear PashaMod,

the Microsoft Senior Technology Specialist who ltakes care of this problem and reported it to Redmond, tells me that Redmond is looking into the problem and I will hear from him when Redmond has something new.

This Microsoft Senior Technology Specialist was not in a position to solve the problem, inspite 2 days work, therefore we are here talking of a real problem, possibly a bug in Win2K3.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards
....I am still waiting news from Microsoft :-(((
AND HERE COMES THE SOLUTION, RECEIVED FROM A WEB-ACQUAINTANCE ( an Active Directory Consultant located in Seattle, Washington, USA):

"We found the fix to the issue, and a KB Article will be put on the Microsoft site sometime soon.  It will be KB Article number 834317. Unfortunately, it is not there yet, but I have attached the hotfix for you.

The problem is that your LdapMaxReceiveBuffer is set to a value greater than 10737418 which is causing the LDAP server service to fail.  We are not sure how our value got changed, but after changing it back to the default, it solved the problem.  This hotfix also solves the problem if you need to keep that value set high".

I will mail the fix to anybody needing it. Just ask for it at: <removed by PashaMod for users privacy>

From a happy WIN2K3 DC Systems Administrator
