Re: In-Place Upgrade From Windows 2K Server

Hello,

I will try to set the DNS for the clients to be only from the DC. As for the
physical connection, all computers (servers and workstations alike) are
connected to the Linksys router (192.168.1.1). I have 3 workstations and 1
server so I fill up all 3/4 ports (2 workstations and server) on the router
with the last port being an uplink for a simple switch which has the last
workstation and a network printer connected. The Linksys router is then
connected to the DSL modem (192.168.0.1) to go out to the Internet. The DHCP
scope on the Linksys router is from 192.168.1.201 to 192.168.1.251 with the
standard C subnet mask.

These are the logs after pointing the DNS to the DC only. I am unable to get
rid of the second DNS (192.168.0.1) as this is from the DSL modem.

As for the ipconfig log from the server:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

Finally, this is the client's ipconfig log with the modified DNS pointer.

Hopefully this gives a better understand of the structure I have.

Hello Thomas,

On the client use only domain internal DNS from the DC NOT the router. Please
post also the unedited ipconfig /all from the server. All ip's starting with
192.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x are private and cannot be accessed from
the internet, so no problem to post the complete output.

Please describe more detailed how your network is built up. All server/workstation
on a switch, the switch connected to the router and the router connected
via dsl modem to the WAN?

Best regards

Hello again,

My DNS server is running on xxSERV01. The IP is 192.168.1.101.

Doing ipconfig on a client workstation, I would get:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : x.xx.COM

fe80::f9bc:6c26:361b:6041%7(Preferred)

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101
192.168.1.1
192.168.0.1
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
Again, 192.168.1.101 is the AD Box running DNS for my network.
192.168.1.1 is the Linksys gateway router and 192.168.0.1 is the ip
for my DSL modem going to WAN.

Do I need a reverse lookup zone as well?

Thanks again in advance.

Hello Thomas,

Active directory is based on DNS, so where is your DNS server, you
MUST have one in the domain? Please post an unedited ipconfig /all
from the server and one client

Hello all,

My workstations seem to have been disconnected from the network
after doing an in-place upgrade of a Windows 2K AD Server to Windows
2K3 Enterprise. My workstations are giving me: "There are currently
no logon servers available to service the logon request."

This is my setup.

All computers (servers and workstations) are connected to a Linksys
Gateway Router (in gateway mode) which has a line connecting to the
DSL router.

I already had a working AD when the server (xxSERV01) was Windows
2K.

Now all but one workstations (xxWKS01, xxMOB01) cannot log in since
it can't find an authentication server. xxWKS02 can log in since I
enabled Interactive Logon Cache at 10. I can ping xxSERV01 and even
browse shared drives/folders via the Network icon on the desktop.
When I try to remote manage the server from xxWKS02 using the W2K3
adminpak, it says it cannot connect to the domain.

Please let me know if my setup may be wrong or I have to do anything
different on the W2K3 AD box.

xxSERV01: W2K3 AD with no DHCP (DHCP is from gateway router), static
IP, no DNS, basically a pure account authentication server

xxWKS01: Windows XP Pro SP2
xxWKS02: Windows Vista Ultimate SP1
xxMOB01: Windows Vista Business SP1
All are DHCP and takes IP addresses from the gateway router.
Domain is in the format computername.department.main.com.
Thanks in advance.
