Re: problems opening AD Users & Computers

I can totally appreciate what your saying but my boss was the one who made
the decision to make our main DC as a gateway to the internet. I am aware of
the security risks involved with doing this but the decision was out of my
hands.

Hi Andy,
Why on earth is your DC connected to the internet?
Multihomed DCs give you all kinds of issues which you need to take care of.
A DC is not a router.

no it is correct. DC1 has a 2nd NIC which is connected to the Internet and
that NIC has the default gateway.

I'm running the tests suggested my Paul so will post back soon

Hi Andy,
Why doesn't DC1 have a default gateway set?
Or is that a typo?

Just to clarify I was working directly on the DC1 when trying to open
ADUC.
DC1 & DC2 are in separate sites connected over a WAN link.

DC1
Connection specific DNS Suffix:
Description:Intel(R) Pro/1000 MT Network Connection
Physical Address:00-11-43-D2-8B-84
DHCP Enabled:No
IP Address:192.168.16.250
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:
DNS Servers:192.168.16.250
Primary WINS Server:192.168.16.250

DC2
Connection specific DNS Suffix:
Description:D-Link DFE-530TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev.a)
Physical Address:00-02-5D-DD-EF-33
DHCP Enabled:No
IP Address:10.0.0.2
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:10.0.0.254

Hi,

I have noticed over the past few days that it is taking an extremely
long
time to open the AD Users & Computers MMC. When it does open if I
right
click
on any object the context menu that should appear takes ages to come
up
too.

There is a 2nd DC in our organisation and that server will open up
the
MMC
almost instantly. I have examined the event logs on the server
concerned
and
cannot see anything specific related to not being able to contact AD

The following are errors in the event log that may or may not be of
any
significance but I would appreciate some help determining this.

Source: Application Error
Event ID: 1000
Faulting application dllloader.exe, version 1.3.23.210, faulting
module
sitesync.dll, version 1.3.23.210, fault address 0x00072644.

Source: ESENT
Event ID: 215
tcpsvcs (4404) The backup has been stopped because it was halted by
the
client or the connection with the client failed.

These two events are the errors occuring most frequently, the 2nd
error
I
found on the MS KB and it seems to indicate a problem with exchange
on
that
server. (exchange isnt on that server, its on another server)

Although a very slow response opening the AD Users & Computers MMC
doesnt
seem like a major problem especially when I can use another server
to
do
the
administration work I need I am concerned of an underlying problem
yet
to
rear its ugly head and would like to try and prevent any further
problems
from occuring.

Thanks for any help given
