Re: win2k - 2003k dc upgrade

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I am having the same problem and it was suggested that I view this posting
string. when I run dcdiag i get the following result.
D:\I386>dcdiag

Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
Done gathering initial info.

Doing initial required tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\MCS_SERVER2
Starting test: Connectivity
MCS_SERVER2's server GUID DNS name could not be resolved to an
IP address. Check the DNS server, DHCP, server name, etc
Although the Guid DNS name
(f7e23a0a-e7f4-4d97-be3f-47abec878a50._msdcs.MCS) couldn't be
resolved, the server name (MCS_SERVER2.MCS) resolved to the IP
address
(192.168.0.4) and was pingable. Check that the IP address is
registered correctly with the DNS server.
......................... MCS_SERVER2 failed test Connectivity

Doing primary tests

Testing server: Default-First-Site-Name\MCS_SERVER2
Skipping all tests, because server MCS_SERVER2 is
not responding to directory service requests

Running enterprise tests on : MCS
Starting test: Intersite
......................... MCS passed test Intersite
Starting test: FsmoCheck
......................... MCS passed test FsmoCheck
I dont know if the same thing is going on for both of us but it sounds close.
Thanks for any help you can give.
