Hi,

Completed the below and it hasn't resolved the issue. Any ideas?

Replication is successful (using replmon) but the shares for sysvol and
netlogon are not there.

Hi
On the VM, change the Preferred DNS settings to the Physical DNS server in
production, reboot the VM, force replication and MAKE sure that is in
sync, then reboot again and check it.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

Hi there, a newly promotoed win2k domain controller (which is a virtual
machine running under virtual server 2005 sp1. This is the second time
I've promoted the server and the second time I am receiving these errors.

Any ideas anyone?

Starting test: Advertising
Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for \\server1.domainname.com
when we were trying to reach server2.
Server is not responding or is not considered suitable.
The DC server2 is advertising itself as a DC and having a DS.
The DC server2 is advertising as an LDAP server
The DC server2 is advertising as having a writeable directory
The DC server2 is advertising as a Key Distribution Center
The DC server2 is advertising as a time server
......................... server2 failed test Advertising

I'm at a loss, no SYSVOL shares are showing and this is the only test
that DCDIAG fails on.

Thanks.
