Hi

You can consider this a new network. We rebuilt the old NT4 network to a win
2003 environment completely eliminating any NT4 servers. They were not
connected to the new win 2003 network at all. We had to redo all clients as
well. Anyway that was worth it.

I have 6 servers, 4 on win 2003, 2 on win 2000.
My DC1 is 2003 with AD, DNS and dhcp. It is the only DC running DNS and DHCP
All servers have fixed IP's
I have 50 users scattered arround a huge property, some linked by fibre
optic others by cat 5.

The slowing down started when I added the dc2 after 2 weeks of running with
only a dc.
The DNS looks great and "seems" to be registering clients as well. I can add
host records to it that point to internal web sites, so thats fine. "The DNS
server wrote version 242 of zone mydomain.co.za"

In the system log on the dc1 is this entry
"The Security System could not establish a secured connection with the
server DNS/prisoner.iana.org. No authentication protocol was available."

I have no idea what this is about.

Another entry is
"File Replication Service has detected and suppressed an average of 15 or
more file updates
every hour for the last 3 hours because the updates did not change the
contents of
the file. The tracking records in FRS debug logs will have the filename and
event time
for the suppressed updates. The tracking records have the date and time
followed by :T:
as their prefix.

Updates that do not change the content of the file are suppressed to prevent
unnecessary replication traffic. Following are common examples of updates
that do not
change the contents of the file.

 [1] Overwriting a file with a copy of the same file.
 [2] Setting the same ACLs on a file multiple times.
 [3] Restoring an identical copy of the file over an existing one.

Suppression of updates can be disabled by running regedit.

Click on Start, Run and type regedit.

Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Services, NtFrs,
Parameters,
and create or update the value "Suppress Identical Updates To Files" to 0
(Default is 1) to force
identical updates to replicate."

Should I do this??

On DC2 in the DNS log is this information event
The event message for the ID (1704) in the source (SceCli) could not be
found, but contained these strings:

Your help is appreciated.
Hope this is enough info.
Take care
Pierre
