Re: dcdiag errors

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Meinolf,

Yes, we did have an old DC crash, which we replaced with dc1 and we also replaced our backup dc with dc2. Both were done a while back, but I do think the problems started about that time. Both dc1 and dc2 are gc's.

DC2 is not a DNS server. We do have another DNS server, so I went ahead and changed both of them to use DC1 as the preferred and the other dns server as the secondary, as you suggested. Since they were both set to use the third server as preferred, could that have caused some of the problems? Should I also set all the client pc's the same way?

I will work on getting the rras moved to another box.

Thanks

Hello Phil,

Did you have any major changes before or a crashed DC which is not longer available? Is the second DC also Global catalog server?

DC1 is DNS server and what about DC2 also? For DC1 set preferred DNS to itself and secondary the other. If DC2 is no DNS set it also as preferred to DC1 and second to the other.

Also it is not recommended to use a DC multihomed like you did with the PPP connection. Better choose another member server for this and not a DC.

I am trying to figure out why my second domain controller (dc2) does
not take over when my first one (dc1) is down. Both are running
Windows 2000 Server. I get these errors when I run dcdiag on dc1:

Starting test: frssysvol
Error: No record of File Replication System, SYSVOL started.
The Active Directory may be prevented from starting.
......................... DC1 passed test frssysvol
Starting test: systemlog
An Error Event occured. EventID: 0x0000165B

Time Generated: 04/23/2008 15:34:33
(Event String could not be retrieved)
......................... DC1 failed test systemlog
can anyone tell me what these errors mean? dcdiag does not seem to
exist on dc2, is it something I need to install?
