Re: Still strange not fully working DNS server

Dear Meinolf,

At logon on the network with a client the error event ID 1054 appears.
ipconfig /registerdns does nog give any information, nothing was written in
the log (within 15 minutes) on both client and server.

The new server is global catalog and has joined the domain as a member, then
run DCpromo, turned on global catalog, transfer Operation master roles: RID
master, PDC emulator and infrastructure master.
also the domain naming master and schema master roles were transfered to the
new DC.
After full replication I demoted the old server.

I guess this was the exact way to promote new and demote old server.

Best regards

Hello Harmjan,

If the clients are domain members they have to be registered in your DNS
server. Did you run ipconfig /registerdns on a client to check if they will
registrate?

Is the new server Global catalog? You didn't mention it.

During your migration i assume you added the new server as a member to the
domain and then run dcpromo on it? Or did you just install a new domain with
the same old name?

Dear Meinolf,

None of the clients are registered in DNS (forgot to mention that).
That is the main reason why I think the problem is in the DNS
settings.

We had an old server and I migrated everything to the new server.
The old server was demoted succesfully and the new DC has all the
master
roles, DNS and DHCP server.
with gpresult /v I also get an error about not having "RVB"
information.

gpupdate /force does not give an error but no result aswell (gpupdate
and gpresult are the first things I always check, even when the GPO's
does work).

Best regards

Hello Harmjan,

Also check that the policy is applied on the client with gpresult /v.
If the output is to big for the command window pipe it to textfile:

gpresult /v >c:\output.txt

If you not run gpupdate /force on the client the new policy setting
can take about 90 minutes to apply to the workstation, because of the
refresh time of the policy.

Dear Meinolf,

Then I think I have fixed the problem already by just removing the
IP
address in DNS server on the domain controller (by default it then
takes
localhost).
It was only aftre a (re)boot by the way.
All the clients are XP.
The config you mentioned was not configured so I have configured and
tested
it just now, result:
No result...
On the old server it has always worked like I have configured but
with
the new server I can't seem to get it work.

Hello Harmjan,

Scroll down to 5781 in this one, you can prevent or ignore it if it
is just
after booting the server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259277
What OS are the clients? If XP, have you configured the "Always
wait
for the network at computer startup and logon" policy? See under
Computer configuration, administrative templates, System, Logon.

another strange issue with DNS.

Setting:
1 Domain Controller (192.168.2.101)
5 clients (DHCP (192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.99)
Internet through a router. (192.168.2.1)
DC contains AD, DNS and DHCP.
DNS is configured default and does not give any error in event
viewer at all. Name server: DC01, 192.168.2.101
DHCP has the following settings:
scope: 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.99 (255.255.255.0)
Server options:
router: 192.168.2.1
Name server: 192.168.2.101
DNS server: 192.168.2.101
DNS Domain name: maddogs.local
WINS: 192.168.2.101
when IPconfig /all on a client I get the following results:
Host name: bar01
Primary DNS suffix: maddogs.local
Node Type: Hybride
IP routing enabled: no
WINS Proxy enabled: no
DNS suffix search list: maddogs.local
DHCP Enabled: yes
IP Address: 192.168.2.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.2.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.2.101
DNS server: 192.168.2.101
Logon works with roaming profiles.
Internet works on all clients.
the shares on the internal nerwork work.
and now the problem:
Logon takes a very long time, it's extreme slow.
GPO's do not work at all.
when typing gpresult /user <username> on a client I get an error
about
missing RVB information (it's a dutch version and I have no idea
what
RVB
means but i get this error with existing users and non existing
users
so I
guess it is user information from AD).
I have installed DNS and DHCP again and again but it just won't
work.
in system event viewer I get an error (event ID: 5781) something
about failing registration of deletion of DNS records on the DNS
domain forestdnszones.maddogs.local
anyone an idea?
