Re: This machine is not working properly as a DC.

this is maybe a little telltale 'Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection
#2'. I _suspect_ the #2.

from a command prompt (or just copy and paste this text to a .cmd text file,
it's handy to have)
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc

and in the resulting devman console, View, Show Hidden. Do you have a
'phantom' NIC? If so, remove it and restart the box. Services may be trying
to bind to this 'phantom'. If the problem still persists, or if there is no
phantom, try running the 'Change Server IP address' wiz, move the server to
another subnet (say 192.168.23.1) and then back to your current. This should
not only change the address but correct any bindings which may be looking at
the wrong place.

If you're still in a muddle, restart again and look at the event logs
starting at restart and moving forward to current, plug each into the search
at www.eventid.net but DO NOT immediately react to advice, you want to 'get
a feel' for any commonality between indicators, there should be a lot more
going on than just the 1085/1061 errors

or it possibly has something to do with the age of the backup, how recent
was it?

Ok, just finished rebooting and got some warnings....

The (red X) conditions in the System log are

Event ID 7001. Service Control Manager.
The WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service service depends on the
DHCP
Client service which failed to start because of the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or
because
it
has no enabled devices associated with it.

That is the only one showing.

This is the *first* and only error that shows in the system event log
after
the system restarts?


There are no (red X) conditions in the Directory Service log. There
are
multiple Information conditions.
Event ids
1172
1073
1072
1060
1360
1364
1363
2041
1239
1240

These are happing repetivaly over and over again. all with the
source
NTDS
Replication.

Thanks for the quick replys...

No outage issue. Everything is actually working right now. I am
sorry
for
being all over the place. Just seems like there are mulitple
errors
causeing
one process not to work or vice versa.

I preformed a non-authoritative restore to try and fix the
replication
problems. As of right now my sysvol folder isn't shared. when i
look
in
the

"C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\server.pri"
there is a folder that says
"NtFrs_PreExisting___See_EventLog"

I then try and share it and it won't stay....

Please let me know what else you need from me be it logs or what
not.
Thanks.

A non authoritative restore of the SBS server?

Sysvol not sharing is an intended precautionary measure. Stop
trying
to
circumvent the built in protection mechanisims and start
troubleshooting.

What are the "error" (red X) conditions in the SBS server System
log
after
restarting?

What are the "error" (red X) conditions in the SBS server Directory
Service
log after restarting?

This is an SBS 2003 server.

I started to try and fix replication errors and some how
messed
something
up. Now i am getting in application error log, MSExchangeAL
8231
errors.
in
File Replication i am getting NtFrs 13508 errors.

To me (which doesn't mean much) it looks like this is not
being
seen
as
the
PDC? On my DC02 i am unable to RDP in with the Domain
Administrator
account.
i get the error "The system cannot log you on due to the
following
error:
The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be
contacted."

HELP!

So, I guess the logical question would be, "what did you do to
try
and
fix
the replication errors?"

You'll need to be much more forthcomming with meaningfull data
like
specific
event log entries and such for us to be much help. You should
also
consider
contacting Microsoft CSS if this is an outage situation with
significant
business impacts.

on
the
