Re: Active directory problem!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Meinolf,

Thanks for the reply. I did not seize the FSMO roles. I just transferred it.
My intention is not to take the dc off permanently. I just want to
disconnect it temporarily from the network for repairing the NAS that has
gone bad. For this purpose only, I transferred all the FSMO roles to the
other DC. But the problem is, when I disconnect the NAS DC from the network,
I cannont connect to the active directory resources.

Regards,
Saisab

Hello Saisab,

Is the running one also Global catalog server? What do you mena with
Active directory can not be found, be more specific how you realized it?
Additional it is not recommended to run exchange on domain controllers.
Run dcdiag /v and netdiag /v to check for errors.

Best regards

Single windows 2003 active directory domain, two domain controllers.
One domain controller hosts network attached storage (NAS)and the
other hosts exchange 2007 . One of the disks of NAS has been damaged
and the domain controller had to be taken off the network. When this
domain controller is turned off, despite the presence of other domain
controller, active directory cannot be found. I have transferred
RID,operations master, PDC, infrastructure and schema roles to the one
with the exchange 2007, but still cannot see the active directory when
the first one is turned off. It also has the active directory
integrated DNS installed and configured.

Can anyone help me with this one?
