Problem with Users Accounts

Hi guys, I've been experiencing a problem with some of my user accounts over the past 10days or so. Initially, I thought it was an isolated situation however, the problem had repeated itself severally in the past days and I'm beginning to wonder what might be wrong.

Here is the problem:
Some of my users just suddenly start experiencing identity related issues after signing on to their PCs. The incidents includes - MS Outlook and Internet Explorer pops a login window when started. When they try to access a network location they receive a window also asking them to logon. Sometimes this problem goes away in a few minutes such that by the time a support staff gets to the user's desk, the problem is no longer there. However, when the problem persists, support staffs usually do either or both of the following to resolve it: remove the affected PC from the domain, restart it and join it back to the domain OR log the user out, delete the User's account from Active Directory users and computers MMC console, recreate the user account. However, this still doesn't prevent the problem from occurring a day or two later with the same user account.

In addition, some of the other PC's name on the domain suddenly changes. This happens only on Windows 7 PCs though. For example, say a Windows 7 PC that was a domain member which was originally named Stev07 suddenly changes name the next morning to HP-USER!

NB: When I check the log on by ISA Server, I notice that when IE start demanding a login, the requests are logged for Anonymouse users anonymous Internet access is not permitted on this network!

What do you think might be wrong here please? Kindly bail me out of this one guys.

Some background:
I run a network spread across two locations linked by Microwave Radios (I'd call them location A and location B respectively)
Location A has two Domain controllers (I'd call them DC1 and DC2), which are both Windows Server 2003 boxes. DC2 also host Exchange 2003 (I know this is not recommended only learnt this after the action and since it didn't seem to be an issue, left it alone). Most of the PCs in Location A are Windows XP Pro PCs and point at DC1 as the primary DNS and DCs 2 and 3 as Secondary and Tertiary DNS respectively

Location B has a domain controller DC3 which runs Windows Server 2008. Most of the PCs in Location B are Windows 7 Pro PCs. All PCs in Loc B point to DC3 as the Primary DNS server and DCs 1 and 2 as their Secondary and Tertiary DNS servers respectively.

All PCs and Servers are shutdown at the close of work

The first thing to do would be to run DCdiag on the the Domain Controllers. Can you please do this and post the output information.


Thank you,

Are your DC's in sync? if all servers are shut down every day they could very well be out of sync in sone way.
- Are there any errors in the FRS event logs?
- Are your AD Sites and services setup correctly with the corrct subnets etc?

Not sure about the computer names changing.. but the rest of it sounds like user and computer accounts not replicating properly between the DC's. As a quick test if you create a user on each dc (call it userdc1, userdc2, userdc3 created on each dc individually) do all the users replicate to all DC's?

Thanks guys for your response.
@ JBond2010, please find attached text file for result of dcdiag run
@ aoakeley, yes, there are errors in FRS log (see below)
What exactly am I looking out for with the AD Sites and Services?

Yes, creating the three user accounts across the three DCs, they to all DCs replicated after a about 2 to 5 seconds (but the PDC took a little longer, about 30 - 60 seconds).

Below is the text of the FRS log entry (this log is from the PDC)

Description:
The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.
 
 Replica set name is    : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
 Replica root path is   : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain"
 Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"
 A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found.  This can occur because of one of the following reasons.
 
 [1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.
 [2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
 [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.
 [4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time.
 [5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:".
 Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state.
 [1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run "net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File Replication Service.
 [2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set.
 
WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again.
 
To change this registry parameter, run regedit.

@ enlconsortium, as you can see there are a number of errors. Pay particular attention to these errors and begin to correct them. It tells you in the error report how to correct them.

[2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.
 [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.

[5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:".
 Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state.

You need to follow the instructions to fix the JRNL_WRAP_ERROR. Do this on the FSMO role holder. It will delete all other SYSVOL replicas and re-replicate from the master.

AD sites and services should have a site for each subnet. Sounds to me like you have all servers and subnets in the one site. Though don;t try fixing this until you have fixed the JRNL WRAP
here is some basic info: http://www.activewin.com/win2000/step_by_step/active_directory/adsites.shtml 

beaten by Bond, Jbond !
lol;)
Ok, thanks guys, let me try these out and get back to you
on very rare occasions I hvae had the JRNL_WRAP fix go tits up and you lose all your policies.. if this happens use this to get out of jail http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762 

have fun :)
@ enlconsortium, your welcome:)
@ enlconsortium, now you can see the importantance of running DCdiag before doing anything else. This will tell you the overall condition Active Directory is in.
Yeah, u right. Thanks all.
Your recommendation was helpful. DC1 and DC2 seem to be ok. Pasted the result of dcdiag for both below. However, running dcdiag on DC3 had A LOT of errors.
@ aoakeley, I read through the page @ d provided link but still unsure about a few things:
Yes, the 3 DCs are in the same site. So I need to separate DC3 into a new site. I've created this new site but hadn't moved DC3 just yet since I was sure:
1. How to configure the connection between the two sites
2. If there are additional steps I might need to take after configuring the connection between the two sites. All machines in the two sites are within the same subnet and IPs manually assigned (but IP assignment is done by site so a range of IPs belong to Loc A and another to Loc B but both Loc have the same subnet mask)

I'm sorry if I sound dumb, but hadn't really done this before!
You configure connection between 2 site through Active Directory Sites and Services. You configure and add the sites and then the subnets. The subnet masks on the 2 sites will have to be different for eg: 192.168.1.0 would be say Head Office and then 192.168.2.0 would be the Branch Office.

Also, it is adviceable to run chkdsk, if you have not done so already.

 [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.
Hi guys, sorry I'm just returning. Had power surge incident and was distracted from solving this problem for a while.

@ aoakeley, already did the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" and even repeated it today again after I got done resolving my surge issues. I had to repeat it cause the issues seem to be repeating itself as almost all my users started having the logon issues described earlier. I observed that the only user group that don't seem to exhibit this problem are Administrators. Does that make sense to you guys?
Anyways, a few minutes after repeating the steps again today, the issue seemed resolved. However I still have a bunch of errors when I ran dcdiag. See below for the result of dcdiag for DC1 and DC2 (as described in my scenario above), however, because the result of dcdiag for DC3 is too long, I directed output to file, so see the attached file.

@ JBond2010, yeah I did reset the value of "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" back to 0 after restarting ntfrs
No, I have not done the site tingy. Right now DC3 doesn't seem to be replicating with any of the others. Really getting on my nerves. Any fresh ideas?
I'm considering demoting DC3 and promoting it again later. Do you think that is a smart idea?

Ok, I just demoted DC3. Will keep you updated. However, there is a long holiday ahead and I might not be able to get back to you guys till next week Tuesday.
No problem:)
sweet :)
Ok guys, DC3 had been taken down and currently the symptoms are gone. You guys are the bomb! Thanks.
However, I ran dcdiag on DC1 and DC2 and still got some error, which I've pasted below for your advice.

Additionally, I want to still return DC3. Any advice on how to ensure I do it right?

those DCdiag look fine... just some errors from old errors in the logs.

Make sure you set the DNS on the NIC of DC3 to point to DNS on DC1 or DC2 and run DCPROMO and you should be fine. (enough TLS's in that sentence for you?!)

Thanks guys
