Re: Sysvol issues.....


Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : DC1
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : domain.local
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : domain.local

The node type is Unknown as show above. I really have no idea why but
when checking it on a training machine from Virtual PC that I get from
MCSA course it shows the same value. And You need to now that the
Virtual PC is configured in a standard way and have no problems with
accessing to DC NetBIOS name network shares.

I was researching the internet on how to manually configure the Node
type ( starting with the link to MS article from you witch I like to
thank for) and all I can find is this:


Changing The Node Type

There's no GUI applet to change Node Type. You'll have to use the
Registry Editor, and change value
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\DHCP
Node Type], or
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\Node
Type] (which ever is there), or add
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\Node
Type].

Value Node Type
1 Broadcast.
2 Peer-Peer.
4 Mixed.
8 Hybrid.

I use DHCP Server only for VPN clients that connects to the network
from the DC2 because all clients In my location use the static IP
configuration. But I have configured the DHCP Server options and add
option 046 then set the bit value to 0x1 B type. I was trying to check
the registry value for
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\Node
Type] but now Reg. Key like this is listed in my
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\Node.
I only have the Interface Key there. And I didn’t mess around with
registry on blind.

edit:
Node type is still unknown…

No result with :( the DHCP 046 value. I think it is not acting because
as I mentioned earlier on this post I do not use DHCP for any adapter
on my DC1.
