2012 DC replication issues

Hi all

Have a 2003 domain which i have been upgrading to 2012 with the hope to bring the domain level up. At the moment there are a mixture of 2012, 2008 and a few 2003 domain controllers,

Today I added another 2012 server. It went through the promotion stage without error but after a number of hours it doesn't seems to want to replicate. Ive checked DNS and I have entered itself and a remote DC as its DNS servers

rebooted a number of times. DCDIAG:

if you do netdom query fsmo on that box is the RID master listed the correct server?

Yes it is ....

event log - system: getting lots of these,,,

"The domain controller is starting a request for a new account-identifier pool."

eventually get this :

The request for a new account-identifier pool failed. The operation will be retried until the request succeeds. The error is
 " The requested FSMO operation failed. The current FSMO holder could not be contacted.
 "
I can ping the FSMO role holder from the server.
check events in your current RIDMaster - run dcdiag on it too

where is the RID master pointing to for DNS?
is there any clock skew between them?
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

RID MASTER has itself and another DC on the same site. All clocks are good.

One other things worth mentioning. I also demote a domain controller after I built the 2012 DC today. All the demotion was succesful I has been removed from the newly built DC but because the new DC isnt replicating the changes havent replicated across to the other DC's.
ok...could have been a timing issue there
are all these in the same site?  if you look in AD sites and services, where does the RID master replicate to?
just wondering if it is trying to replicate to that server that was removed but didn't know that it's gone

No they are on different sites.

I have a DR site. that had a 2003 server (drdc)

I promoted the 2012 server (drdc01)

I then demoted the server drdc

The active directory object created and replicated to all DC's.

DRDC01 sites and services is correct and only has itself under the DR site.

All other DC's on different sites did not update teh sites and services and do not have the new server DRDC01 but still have all settings for the old server DRDC

Should I forcefully remove drdc?
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

Not in this instance.
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

Update..

Just to update it looks a bit of a mess.

DR site server drdc01 has been promoted to a DC but none of the other DC's see this. They just see it as a member server. The old DC on this site which was demoted (drdc) is no longer a DC but all other sites still see this as a DC.

Should I demote DRDC01 and promote again? then forcefully remove DRDC?
Have you been through DNS checks?

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727055.aspx

is DRDC still listed in DNS as a DC?  
(sorry if I seem to be diverting a little here - there are quite a few checks to be made to make sure it all runns smoothly)

Here is a link to removing all vestiges of a failed domain controller:
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/555846
Here is a suggest pick one DC that is the most accurate and make this the "source of truth". Seize allFSMO roles to this DC. Force demote the other DC's. Do a AD meta data cleanup. Clean up DNS, WinS etc... Wait a couple of our of one day if you can to give everything time to settle then try to add on DC back
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

OK had removed problematic DC;s and cleaned up. all looking much better. One problem I still seem to get and this seemed to only become apparent when I started to introduce 2012 DC's to the domain. Every now and again a users machine would lock and they wouldn't be able to log back on with there current password. They only way to fix this issue is to reboot the machine. Any reason why this might happen?
Are there any errors / warning on the affect workstations event logs? What about the event log on the DC's?

Nice work on the AD clean-up !!!

Have this happened since you cleaned up AD? If not this could be caused by replication problem in AD as your were experiencing.

This usually means the user entered in a bad PWD or their token as expired.

Are all client workstation clocks in sync with the PDC's time?
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

When you say token has expired how does this work? is it the same on all domains? The time is synced with the pdc so they clients time should be accurate.
The kerbose token naturally expires after 8 hours by design.. When you say "should" be in sync can you double check for me.. please
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

Sorry for delay...
So Im still getting the same issue with a few users. The machine locks, and the user cannot unlock it again. The time on the machine is correct. A reboot fixes the issue and they can logon again.
Avatar of Matt

ASKER

I spoke with a user earlier who had the same problem.

This morning when she logged in she was prompted to change her password, which she did. After lunch she returned to her desktop with the screen locked. It wouldn't take the new password to unlock, however it would accept the old one?!

I confirmed this by manually locking the workstation and unlocking again with the old password.
Is this with a wireless connection?

i have noticed on some machines that the wireless connection is not authenticated until the user is logged in and will not accept password changes unless the user is first logged in then uses control-alt-delete to change the password.
