Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain.
If you don't have the support tools installed, install them from your server
install disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe
Run dcdiag, netdiag and repadmin in verbose mode.
-> DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log
-> netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log (On each dc)
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
**Note: Using the /E switch in dcdiag will run diagnostics against ALL dc's
in the forest. If you have significant numbers of DC's this test could
generate significant detail and take a long time. You also want to take
into account slow links to dc's will also add to the testing time.
If you download a gui script I wrote it should be simple to set and run
(DCDiag and NetDiag). It also has the option to run individual tests
without having to learn all the switch options. The details will be output
in notepad text files that pop up automagically.
The script is located in the download section on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com
Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the
default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)
When complete search for fail, error and warning messages.

Hi everyone,
I need some helps to resolve an issue we have.
Our DCs are running on virtual machines. Recently, I noticed there is a
2103 error in the system log of one DC, which says "The Active Directory
database has been restored using an unsupported restoration procedure",
and
the Net Logon service pauses every time the DC is rebooted.
Because there is no AD restore at any time since the server was built.
The
only reason I could think of is that I moved the DC virtual guest from one
to
another virtual host. And I alway restart the net logon service when I
saw
the error message and I did not get any report of other issues when doing
this.
I believe this error is a false alert and was triggered by a registry key
or
something like that. Does anyone know how to get rid of this error
without
making de-promote the DC?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
