Re: DependOnService to DNS does not work 2003R2

Hello Jorge,

yes, cause I would like to have this server running all time (behind
firewall, only smtp open). On backup (cold) it would not come up any more
when my primary is not up. So its a backup dc. Go now out. Will be back
tomorrow. Thanks for your response.

Hello Jorge,

I forgot to write that the primary is allready configured as secondary DNS
in my Mail-Server-Notebook, but I start my backup-dc
(Mail-Server-Notebook)
while my primary dc is down. If it is up, everything works fine. But I
would
have expected that a backup could work perfectly without a primary in
normal
operations (not changing), cause this is normaly the purpos of a backup.
On a
restart of my Mail-Server it should not be dependend on a runnig Primary
which could possibly be down.

Hello Jorge,

thanks for your suggestion, but the other DNS server is my primary domain
controler which I normaly want to shut down the night (power consumtion).
Only my mail-server (runnign on a notebook) should continue to run. Ok it
runs without, once started no further errors arise, but what kind of SW
(or
administrator) is this, not beeing able to change the order of the
services.
By the way, I checked my settings with sc and dns was listed as dependend
service in netlogon/w32time and my Exchange-Services. As a last resort I
also
added dns in the group of netlogon, (may be only dependencies between
members
groups are allowed). But nothing happens. Not nice.

Hi
Yeahhh... That could be annoying... Do you have another DC DNS server
in
your network? If yes, make the secondary preferred DNS server on the
NIC
properties pointing to the other DC DNS server and the problem should
disappear.

I tried to delay my Netlogon/W32Time and Exchange-Services to wait on
DNS
Start.
This is needed cause it should be an independend Server (is
BackupDomainControler with DNS installed). DNS is configure on local
machine.
Even I registered DependOnService (REG_MULTI_SZ) in Netlogon and in
the
Exchange-SA Service. But nothing happens. DNS is the !!! LAST !!!
service
started.
And all the nice errors come up. As a resutl I have to start Exchange
manual
after logon. Whow nice.
Did somebody else have such a problem, or am I the only one?
