Adprep /rodcprep Fails
Posted on 2013-06-24
When I run adprep /rodcprep it gives me this error message. Any idea how I can fix this? We did have a server that we were replicating to crash a few years back and we did not replace it. I am guessing that is what is causing the problem. This is all in preparation of adding a new 2008 server to take over the DC role.

How many domain controllers do you have on your Domain? It sounds like its failing to connect to a stale domain controller hence why your getting LDAP errors
did ADPREP /prepforest or /prepdomain or /prepschema work fine?
Cheers

We just have one DC but had another DC 2 years ago that crashed. We never replaced it.
I ran forestprep and domainprep with no errors.

The domain controller that crashed, was it removed from the domain correctly?
if you look in the 'Domain Controllers' container in ADUC is it still listed? Or run repadmin /replsummary

It is not within Domain Controllers under ADUC. Where is the repadmin file located? Can't seem to find it..
run that command in CMD. repadmin /replsummary
This will return back any configured or semi-configured domain controllers

Sorry just a side thought.
Are you actually planning on installing a read only domain controller onto the domain?

Odd...that command doesn't work. Says it is not recognized. Does it need to be installed from the 2003 server CD?
We are planning on promoting the 2008 server once the replication is done and demoting the 2003 server.
