Cannot access root shares (sysvol, netlogon ,etc) by using domain.local, but can if I use fqdn of server or IP.

Hi,

Here is the current situation:

1- I can see list of shares if I access domain.local.
2- I cannot enter any share if I use domain.local (clicking from the list of shares). GPupdate is failing too...
3- If I use fqdn of server i can access each folder without issues.
4- If I use IP i can access each folder without issues.
5- nslookup of domain.local is ok
6- computers can join without issue to domain.
7-No errors in dfs (event viewer). But this does not disqualify dfs as the problem.
8- This was working a few days ago perfectly. In a previous setup the server was only AD / DC , no dns or dhcp involved. Recently we moved all the dns, dhcp , wins, etc to the core AD/DC server (same server im talking above), because we were having issues integrating with some other systems (user integrations).
9- Issues with integration / sync of AD cleared, but now this new problem arise. This cause suspect for dns issues , though i can resolve and ping anything.

Its been a few crazy hours, literally no sleep, maybe some of the real experts have an idea :D?

Everything passed ,except the following:
 Starting test: MachineAccount
    Checking machine account for DC SERVER1 on DC SERVER1.
    The account SERVER1 is not trusted for delegation.  It cannot
    replicate.
    The account SERVER1 is not a DC account.  It cannot replicate.
    Warning:  Attribute userAccountControl of SERVER1 is:
    0x11000 = ( WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT | DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD )
    Typical setting for a DC is
    0x82000 = ( SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT | TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION )

Could this be causing such sysvol access issues?


Answering your question: just one dc. Thank your for answering.
Yes this is the issue with your replicaiton. Can you also run netdom query fsmo and netdom query dc.

You will need to follow the link i have provided above and make sure that you perform an authoritative restore of Sysvol.

Just curious when you ran net share where the Sysvol and Netlogon shared out?

Will.
net share, executed inside dc:

SYSVOL       C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol        Logon server share

NETLOGON     C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\THEDOMAIN.local\SCRIPTS

The problem is only for workstations. Will follow the link and see if it solve it.
C:\Windows\system32>netdom query dc
List of domain controllers with accounts in the domain:

The command completed successfully.
List of domain controllers with accounts in the domain:
Did you remove the domain controllers that were listed due to security purposes or was nothing present?

If nothing was present then you need to perform an Authoritative Restore of Sysvol.

Will.
Did the  authoritative , still >netdom query dc gave me nothing as results. Any other process that should be done after doing authoritative?
Also did you run netdom query fsmo? What you might want to do is Seize the Roles back to this DC.

Will.
C:\Windows\system32>netdom query fsmo
Schema master               SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
Domain naming master        SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
PDC                         SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
RID pool manager            SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
Infrastructure master       SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
The command completed successfully.
Have you tried rebooting the DC? Also are there anything in the logs after you have run the authoritative restore?

Will.
Something is wrong with this DC. I mean why would I be able to access it via server1.thedomain.local and click each share, and when I do the same for thedomain.local i see the shares but i get denied!
Yes you are correct, there is something definitely wrong with this DC. When you run netdom query fsmo you should see ALL DC's that are in your domain. If you are not seeing anything then there is something definitely wrong. Do you have a system state backup of the DC?

You might have to restore the entire server using the Authoritative Restore method.

Will.
C:\Windows\system32>netdom query fsmo
Schema master               SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
Domain naming master        SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
PDC                         SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
RID pool manager            SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
Infrastructure master       SERVER1.THEDOMAIN.LOCAL
The command completed successfully.


netdom query fsmo show all correctly, howver netdom query dc dont.
