Re: Advice Needed on Migration

Thanks for that the IP you mention is as follows, the client is part of the
Ministry of Defence and are on RLI Military protected Broadband and we were
advised to point to that, do you think it is serving no purpose doing that as
we dont need internet connectivity on the servers?

Hello Lee,

Open DNS management console and highlight the Forward/Reverse lookup zone,
in the right pane you will see type.

From dcdiag, for the errors displayed there under "systemlog" check the event
viewer system log. There you should find errors, which are maybe resolved.
To make sure you can save and delete the systemlog and wait 2 days, then
run dcdiag again. Rest seems to be fine.

From netdiag, the servers are not in the internet i hope, because you didn't
use private ip range. Why 25.31.11.2 from a different ip range? Is it your
ISP? For domain connectivity use only domain internal DNS servers, so point
the server to the DC/DNS that should be removed.


If not done i would also update to SP2 and latest patches.

Best regards

Hello Meinolf please find below the test results foe netdiag and
dcdiag, i would be grateful if you could check them for me also how do
i check if im running an Active Directory Intergrated Zone?

Also these tests were taken when the server was online but for the
last 3 weeks it seems to go offline every 2 hours and needs rebooting
to restore connectivity with the network - i have installed new
network card and dealt with all errors that were in event viewer -
this server was due to be replaced in May but as i could not seem to
resolve the issue we have decided to replace it now.
