Hello,
I am getting the following error while trying to add additional domain
controller to an existing domain planet01.bigad.local . It seem to replicate
all data, stop/start the netlogon service, but I get the error "Directory
Object not found"...
=============================
FOREST: bigad.local (AD Zone DNS)
DC: planet01.bigad.local
DC Computer: testad02.planet01.bigad.local
OS: W2K3 Ent SP1
Because of the known issue with SP1 and some firewalls, I also tried to
setup a TESTAD in the same site as TESTAD02 to see if the problem happens
again, and it did! (So I suppose the Firewall RPC shouldn't be a problem).
The other thing that might be the issue is that we have another
forest/domain in the network, called FIRSTAD.LOCAL. this DC has DNS as well.
All DCs have two-
way trust relationship and I have added secondary zone on each of these DNS
server.
-> So, could this error be caused by DNS? I tried to add suffix
'planet01.bigad.local' on the computer that we are trying to add to domain
but it didn't seem to help.
Error Message:
============
The operation failed because:
Active Directory is missing critical information after installation and
cannot continue. If this is a replica domain controller, rejoin this server
to the domain.
