Group Policy not functioning correctly in active directory
Hi All,
I had 2 domain controllers running windows server 2012std, single forest, single domain.
Recently my primary domain controller crashed, and i had to remove it from the network and to seize all fsmo roles.
netdom query fsmo shows all roles are holding available domain controller now
after seizing all roles, i manually cleaned up every reference of old dc from DNS as well.
I noticed that since that group policy was not applying to domain computers .
I ran dcdiag and it showed several failures. here is output:

Make sure your remaining DC is also a Global Catalog server.
ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION
membership
This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
can you add the output from netdom query fsmo for us to review?
If the Global Catalog function were missing users would not be able to log on at all, and there would not be messages about the missing GPO files in the DCDIAG.
There is no link between GC and GPO.
There is no link between GC and GPO.
disregard request for netdom query fsmo...I saw you did it above. sorry for not reading clearly. What is you DNS setup on the client systems? are any of them still referencing the old DC by chance?
ASKER
Global Catalog is OK, this dc was GC as well initially.
I manually deleted all old GPOs from the domain. folders for remaining gpos are present in sysvol folder. but the error still remaining in dcdiag
here is output of netdom command
Schema master MAIN.mydomain.com
Domain naming master MAIN.mydomain.com
PDC MAIN.mydomain.com
RID pool manager MAIN.mydomain.com
Infrastructure master MAIN.mydomain.com
The command completed successfully.
