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
-> dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"
**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 on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/downloads.htm
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.

Hello,
We have two 2003 servers running, both DC's for the same domain, with
active directory replicated between them for redundancy. Everything worked
fine during initial testing, but after mistakenly setting up a trust
between the two servers (its not needed, right?), I was unable to access
any shares on the second server (not the Global Catalogue server), even
from itself!
When I try to access the shares, I receive an error : .... Access is
denied or the domain controller cannot be located!
I tried to remove the trusts, but I then get an error - : the directory is
busy...
I can ping server2.mydomain ok, and it seems as if active directory
objects are still replicating to it, but I may be mistaken. I've tried
creating new shares with liberal permissions but alas, same error!
I was considering demoting the second machine, but it is running exchange
and I am concerned that this may affect it.
Help?!?
Thanks
Max
