Re: Joint 2003 Server to Domain over Checkpoint VPN

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Name rsolution works fine.

I spoke with our firewall people, and they see fragmentation happening on
the vpn, that being the case the DC is proably dropping the fragmented
packets?

As Anthony said, the first thing to check is that the routing and name
resolution is working across the link. Do all machines use the DC as their
DNS server? Can you do an nslookup from the branch office for the original
DC at the main office?

Active Directory uses DNS to find a logon server. Are the workstations
in the branch joined to the domain?

Hi Anthony

When we use any resource on the home network, the XP machines get prompted
for a domain login.

Does 2003 use a directed broadcast to find a DC? or does it use DNS to
locate a DC record. I'm wondering if this is a fragmentation problem on
the
VPN. Will do a network capture and let you know.

OK, all we know at the moment is that the server can not connect to the
DC.
We need to a) see whether the VPN is working correctly and b) see whether
the server is configured correctly.

-----VPN-----
Is all traffic allowed, or is it filtered?
Do the XP workstations have any similar errors?
Can you do domain operations between the workstations and the DC, like
Manage the computer, remote registry etc.
Can you copy a large file successfully over the VPN?

-------Server Config-------
Is the DNS set up correctly?
Can you ping "dt" and "dt.com"?
Did it join the domain successfully (is it a Ghosted image or is that
just a
coincidence?)?
What error do you get if, from the server, you try to "Manage" the DC or
bring up an Active Directory mmc to connect to the DC? and vice versa?
What OS and Service Pack? If W2K3 SP2, is it this:

Hi Richard,
You have two Checkpoint firewalls making a site to site VPN? Is all
traffic
allowed over the VPN? Do you already have clients at the branch that
are
connected, or is this the first connection? What exactly is the error
you
get? Are you able fully to manage the unjoined server remotely, or
does
anything fail?

Hi

I have installed a 2003 Server in a branch office, unfortunately I
am
not
able to join it to domain. I have reviewed many articles, but can
not
find
any work-arounds?

Any help very much appreciated

Richard
