For no apparant reason today, cannot log into domain console & users cannot access domain

Are these errors on the client workstation?.

After hard power off both DCs were you able to log on.?

Not sure if this is related to leap second.

Check the local host files on both servers to see if you will see any entries apart from the normal ones that were commented out.

regards

After I hard powered both servers I was able to get logged in as well as workstations. You are referring to the host file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, correct? If so, there are no entries entered, just the normal commented out examples...no entries. The primary DC runs DNS server service though. What other even id entries may indicate problem this morning?

run this command on both dc lets pay particular attention to the primary though for now have both DC powered on when running these commands too please

Thanks Mark! Here are the DC Diagnostics Results:

Is the time set correctly on both servers and the time service started on both servers?

what do you see in the event logs errors, warnings and criticals?

Mark, The two controllers were off by about 2 minutes. I need a better understanding of the time service and advised configuration. I suppose them being off could be the cuplrit, correct? If so, do you recommend using the time service installed or a third party utility and how about for the workstations?

Mark, I also just discovered that on the secondary machine the Time Service is set up as "manual" vs. "Automatic" on the primary machine!

no we can set the time manually for now and then set the time service to use an external source once weve pinpointed the issue.

try this.

on DC1 set the time to the correct time. verify this in whatever locale your in.
on DC2 set the time to the correct time.
Restart the time service on DC1
Restart the time service on DC2

run dcdiag again
run netdiag command also

see where we are at, at this point.

bingo, time service not started right? set it to automatic and start it.

AD automatically sets each DC to sync time with the master DC

I would suggest that you set your master DC to get the time source from time.windows.com
The workstation will by default use the DC as the time server.

Sorry, I'll leave Mark to go through this with you.

All the best

hey op!

we can set the time service once we verify we are in better situation ;)

M

Ok Mark. Thank You. I will follow your steps. One question though. Do I run netdiag from elevated command prompt with any parameters. When I attempt to simply type in netdiag I get a return that it is not a recognized command.

C:\>netdiag
'netdiag' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\>

hi we need to install the support tools for this operating system if it is returning this when you run netdiag

we can ignore this for now

is the dcdiag clean now on both servers?

are the workstations able to log on?

Ok, so above are the new dcdiag results from both servers. Yes, my clients have been logged on for several hours now. Just trying to get this correct so doesn't happen again. That being said I did a GPUPDATE /F from my workstation and it changed the time which is off by a minute or two from the DC1.
What should I do next?

From the command you suggested above "w32tm /query /source" on DC1 it shows the source is the Local CMOS Clock

The output for DC1 & DC2:

Local CMOS Clock

sorry the second post above, i am pretty busy here got lost in that post, i specify the command to run in the end at the bottom of the post.

Sorry Mark. I am a little lost with the posts. I appreciate your help. I am in the United States in the Central Time Zone, so it it 11:24AM here on 7/1/15. What should be the command I type in?

Thank You sir!
Did exactly as you specified and it states the command completed successfully, then the output is not as expected:

C:\Windows\system32>w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:0.pool.ntp.org,1.pool.ntp.org,
2.pool.ntp.org /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
The command completed successfully.

C:\Windows\system32>w32tm /query /source

Thank You Mark. Here is everything you told me to do, which I did:

C:\>w32tm /query /source

no problems, sorry things are bit hectic for me with work right now.

What happens if you run the w32tm /query /source on dc02?

Mark, No problem at all. I completely understand. I normally can figure these things out but this has been a bugger getting time syncing properly across the domain and workstations.

DC2:
Local CMOS Clock

P.S.
By the way, where in UK are you? I am traveling to UK for the first time next month. I should treat you to a pint for all that you have done helping me today!

Same result after running the above commands:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Users\systems>w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
The command completed successfully.

C:\Users\systems>w32tm /query /source
Local CMOS Clock

C:\Users\systems>

im expecting the same result but pls try

on dc2
stop time service
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
start time service

and let me know. we cant be looking at cmos clocks because if the battery dies were in trouble.
the main problem here is sorted anyway the PDC.

add in another step here if we still have the problem on dc2
run this on dc2
w32tm /resync

Understood. I ran the commands above and the problem is that it will not allow me to do the update with the time service stopped, only with it started. Should I try and configure the same way as dc1?


C:\>net stop w32time
The Windows Time service is stopping.
The Windows Time service was stopped successfully.

C:\>w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
The following error occurred: The service has not been started. (0x80070426)

C:\>net start w32time
The Windows Time service is starting.
The Windows Time service was started successfully.

C:\>w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
The command completed successfully.

and what does it look like now when we check the source?

Sorry, forgot to post that. Same result:

C:\>w32tm /query /source
Local CMOS Clock

Try these steps on DC2

1. Run command below on your DC3:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update
W32tm /resync /rediscover
Net stop w32time && net start w32time
2. If it does not work, reset the time service to default settings on your DC3:
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net start w32time

Well my friend. I am calling it a night and a bad day of frustration. :) It tried the commands from above and get various errors with the same result, "Local CMOS clock". I am almost considering demoting this server as a dc2 and making another one but I am open to any other suggestions. I have also tried various other things. Here are the sad reults:


C:\Users\systems>w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /update

C:\Users\systems>w32tm /unregister

unregistering may well fix it, can we log on as the administrator account and try it again ?

the account im talking about is part of enterprise admins group in active directory.

Good morning Mark! I just tried again with success on dc2!

C:\Users\systems>w32tm /query /source
dcod1.ciscoeq.com

nice one, now clear down the event logs, right click and save them somewhere, then run dcdiag on both of the dc with clear logs.

once it passes were all good here once your not experiencing any issues.

Hello Mate! Sorry I have been out for our holiday. I am going to do as suggested and will let you know but I think all is working well now.
Also, I am a first time user to this forum so what do "Accept Multiple Solution" and "Accept as Solutions" used for/How do I mark your solution as fixed or rate you?

Ok, after saving the event logs and clearing them here is dcdiag result for DC1 and no events recorded after running:
