Good day, if someone can please help.

I am trying to promote a 2003 server as a DC into a new child domain at a
branch office. We are connected over high latency a site to site VPN. I had
various errors and kept on changing DNS, doing portscans and reading
magnitudes of material.

I got up to a point now where I get the following warning in the promotion
process:

“The primary DNS server tested was: server.domain.net (x.x.x.x)

The zone was: domain.net

The test for dynamic DNS update support returned:
"A SRV record for DNS name _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.child.domain.net was found.
Delete this DNS name from the zone domain.net before continuing promotion of
this domain controller or ensure that the existing SRV record for the DNS
name _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.child.domain.net represents this domain controller."

And finally returns the error:

The operation failed because: Active Directory could not create the object
CN=GSTJHB,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=domainm,DC=net. Check the event
log for possible system errors. "The FSMO role ownership could not be
verified because its directory partition has not replicated successfully with
atleast one replication partner."

If I check in the event log I see File Replication service has stopped.

At this moment I don’t have mush direct control over the domain or DC I want
join and have to send through instructions. I know the DNS setup must be
correct and at this stage the DNS server running in main site has Pri-Zone of
say - domain.net and we also have Pri-Zone of - child.domain.net. Can someone
give guidance of how the DNS relations must be set up, dynamic updates, SRV
records and Zones.

I have also attached a portquery for “Domains and Trusts’ to the main DC and
see a load of "FILTERED" results.
I have read so much info and am not winning, help will greatly be
appreciated, especialy with the exact DNS setup for main and child domains.

Thanks

Hannes
