DNS issue get these errors.
Hi,
I have a setup where my active diorectory ,DNS,DHCP and SCCm are all in 1 machine.
I have setup everything fine and now when i try to add a machine to the domain. I figured there is some problem.
I am now sure but suspect it to a DNS issue.
As when i ping from the client machine i dont get the default gate way.Or when i ping with a "-a" it does not get me the machine name of the server
errors
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
The DNS server encountered error 32 attempting to load zone 1.170.159.in-addr.arpa from Active Directory. The DNS server will attempt to load this zone again on the next timeout cycle. This can be caused by high Active Directory load and may be a transient condition.
The DNS server was unable to complete directory service enumeration of zone home.network. This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and repeat enumeration of the zone. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
How can i start troubleshooting what could the problem be.
Regards
Sharath

You would need to have a different IP address for the default gateway unless you are routing through this machine. A typical IP config is
192.168.1.10 IP address
255.255.255.0 Subnet
192.168.1.1 Default Gateway
192.168.1.10 DNS server
192.168.1.10 IP address
255.255.255.0 Subnet
192.168.1.1 Default Gateway
192.168.1.10 DNS server
Restart netlogon service.
This can be caused if you have a single DC or two DCs and they point to themselves as the first entry in the DNS list in IP properties and the zone is AD Integrated. Reason could be that the DC has many services running on it (SQL, Exchange, etc.) or is a slower machine, and when the Netlogon service tries to register into the zone at boot time, AD is not quite initialized yet and so you get the error. You can either ignore it or change the zone to a Primary, or if you have multiple DCs, change the first entry to the partner and the second to itself

I have just 1 machine which is a DC,DNS,DHCP installed...
So that ipadress of the server has to be the same for the GAteway and DNS right?

Not the gateway unless you are routing through the server and not a router. Your gateway usually different then DNS and IP address. Make sure your DNS is the same as the IP address since you have one server. Have you started the netlogon service?
ASKER
Yes the service is started...
Sorry I meant restarted?
ASKER
Yes did that but still no luck....
When i ping the server from client
Like
ping -a 192.168.1.1
it just shows the ip.Should'nt it show the machine name as well?

Change the DNS server's IP address to 129.170.1.1. I would also recommend changing the IP address and the DNS server to another IP address because your server isn't routing but firsth get your server up by changing the DNS IP address. Once you have done that do a reboot.

How is everything working now?

I am still not able to get the machine name when pinging from the client with -a
Do you get anymore errors? Can you do a nslookup on the domain?
ASKER
nslookup i get the machine name and address
Are you getting any errors? Have you checked the reverse lookp zone? Do an ipconfig /all on the client and post.
If nslookup is working, then you have forward lookups. Lets just check that again - open nslookup from a workstation and try typing the name of a DNS entry on the server. You should get the IP address returned.
If the -a switch through ping is not working, then that would indicate you do not have a reverse DNS lookup zone or it is not correctly working. This is stated in one of your above errors in the original post. What I suggest you do is open the DNS console on the server, delete your Reverse Lookup Zone, then create a new one. Ensure you give it the correct IP address and subnet mask - you should enter 129.170 for the IP and then 255.255.0.0 or /16 as the subnet mask.
Then, after you have restarted a client workstation, you should start to see entries appearing in the reverse lookup zone. Do a ping -a for an IP address of a workstation which has a reverse record. Do you get the machine name come up?

no looks like

Delete the reverse lookup. Please follow the instructions on this page. The IP address should be reversed. Also, Change you subnet mask on your IP scheme to be 255.255.255.0

Done all as mentioned but still no luck...
I have created the reverse zone and added a PTR record.
Restarted the machine,Restarted DND service and Netlogon.
Restarted the client xp machine.
But no luck...
The new thing is i try adding the machine to the domain and it dloes not happen...

What is the IP address of the client? Does your reverse lookup zone look like this 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Can you do a nslookup on the server without error?
ASKER
When i click the reverse lookup zones
I get this below
192.168.1.x.subnet

Your reverse lookup zone is correct sorry I'm was assuming you were in advanced view mode. So, the nslookup is working on the server. Do a ipconfig /all on the cleint and the server one more time for me please?

I use DHCP
You told me 2 things
1. DNS server i did that
2. DNS Domain Name... I could not find that in the scope?

Whatever you domain name is you should have it there? You now have the DNS server IP address configured in DHCP under the DNS server scope option?

Yes for DHCP enabled clients you must tell DHCP what DNS servers you want it to give to the clients. How are you adding the machine to the domain? Are you going to the System Properties then going to computer name and clicking the Change button? Then are you clicking domain and adding the domain name home.network.com.

Attached is the screen shot of the properties...
A bit confused why it shows 'Home. Network" in the Domain
and "Home Network.com" in the Full Computer name
Is this correct. Should this be like that.

No, I haven't ever seen it that way before. Change the domain name to be the correct domain name. I'm not sure why it let you join that way.

Exactly

This will walk you through creating a Forward lookup zone.

You will have to put the client back onto a workgroup first to get the client back on the new domain.
