RE: SBS 2003 - Exchange LDAP Error

Hi David,

Thanks for your update. I appreciate your time.

How you demote the secondary DC from domain? Could you describe me more
detail information about your customer's network topology? Before you
physically retired the secondary DC from the network, have you run the
Dcpromo.exe program to remove this computer from the domain?

If a domain controller is physically removed and the Active Directory
Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe) is not run first to demote the domain
controller to a member server, the computer object still exists as a domain
controller in Active Directory. The previous computer object must be
removed from Active Directory.

For more detail information about how to manually remove the configuration
data for the domain controller from Active Directory, you can check the
following article:

216498 How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain
controller demotion
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498/

I am happy to be of assistance to you.

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Jenny Wu

Thanks for replying. I am headed over to the customer site this afternoon
and
will work on getting you the requested information.

This error started occuring after we demoted their secondary domain
controller. I thought that it may be related to a bug in AD but DCDIAG,
DCDIAG /test:dns and NETDIAG all run clean. I went through DNS manually
and
confirmed that there is no reference to the old DC. I also removed the
site
entry in sites and services that contained the site info where the other
DC
was located.

Due to the nature of the client's business, I have not been able to
perform
a clean reboot. I will schedule some time this afternoon to complete that
also.

Hi David,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup!

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand
that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals
to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!

For time critical issues (not business down), we encourage you to
contact
CSS directly for more immediate assistance:
International Support (non-US/Canada):
http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

US and Canada:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;OfferProPhone

To continue working with me in the newsgroups, please see the following:

From your description, I understand the issue to be: you get many
warning
event 2392 in Event Viewer. If I am off base, please don't hesitate to
let
me know.

Before we go any further on the issue, please kindly help me collect
some
information to isolate the issue:

1. Please double check if the event ID is 2392. And also for your
exchange
server work well and it is Warning event, you can ignore them.

2. What you have changed on the SBS server box before the warning begins
to
appear? Have you installed any third party application on the server
box?
Please disable all third party application on the server box and then
perform a clean boot to see if the issue still persists:

A Clean Boot will allow us to isolate any device drivers or programs
that
are loading at startup that may be causing a conflict with other device
drivers or programs that are installed in your computer.

1) Run MSCONFIG.EXE.
2) In the Services tab, click "Hide All Microsoft Services" and click
"Disable All".
3) In the Startup tab, click "Disable All". Click OK. (This will
temporarily prevent third-party programs from running automatically
during
start-up.)
4) Restart the computer and check whether the problem still persists.

If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related
to
one application or service we have disabled. You can use the MSCONFIG
tool
again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit.

3. If you would like to trouble shoot the issue, please help me collect
the
following information:

A. What is your SBS 2003 server version? Have you applied SBS 2003 SP1?
If
not, I suggest that you apply the SBS 2003 SP1 to see if it helps. Since
the SBS 2003 SP1 includes many hotfixes and updates to current SBS 2003
server. Please refer to the following article to apply the SBS 2003 SP1.

Installing Windows SBS 2003 with SP1, "Getting Started" at the Microsoft
Web site http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=51143

B. Please a save a text copy of application and system log for analyze:

To save a text copy of Application /System log:

A. Open Event Viewer: Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools ->
Event Viewer.
B. Right-click on Application/System log and select "Save Log File As?".

I appreciate your time! I am happy to be of assistance to you and look
forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Jenny Wu

MAD.EXE, 3924, 35.

I have confirmed that Domain, DNS and Global catalog are function using
dcdiag. I have been able to find zilch on Technet. Anyone have any
ideas?
Exchange seems to be functioning fine, however my backups running on
Symantec
Backup Exec 10d are grabbing the information store. I keep receiving:

AOFO: Initialization failure on: "Microsoft Information Store".
Advanced
Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
Snapshot provider error (0xE00084AF): The directory or file was not
found,
or could not be accessed.

I turned on the VSS service provider and have kicked off another
backup.
In
theory the backup problem should be resolved, but I am still unable to
stop
the events from occurring.
