Re: Network desintegrating(?)

Hello SuperGumby,

Thanks for your answer, kj also answered, I'm goiing with your suggestion to
use a reservation for the extra DC.

My system is 1 SBS 2003 SP1 server Premium with ISA 2004, 1 Windows 2003 as
DC, 15 clients XP Pro SP2

Physically it's

Internet
DSL modem (yes it's a speedtouch)
||
SBS External
SBS Internal
||
Internal switch
||
Lan PC's

I made a reservation for Noodserv in DHCP. I will enter Noodserv as extra
DNS server.
I don't understand the firewall issue. The system was working from 2005 till
recently with the firewall client installed. I'm not questioning your
advice, I' m trying to learn something.

I differ, I use DHCP but make reservations for servers.

Physically, what is connected to what?

I expect

internet
DSL modem (looks like a speedtouch)
|
|
SBS External 10.0.0.153
SBS Internal 10.10.10.2
|
|
Internal switch
|
|
LAN PCs (Including additional DC)

IF instead it was (incorrect but possibly functional)

internet
DSL Modem
|
|
switch
|
|
both SBS interfaces and LAN PC's

Then the switch may not be handling the two similar subnets correctly,
explaining the unusual ping results.

The IPConfig's look good. Could be firewall as KJ suggests.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. I put the files you asked for as a
attachment. I've seen that before but don't know what to do about it.
I know PDC and BDC are NT 4 terms, TELSERV is the SBS box, NOODSERV
is the extra DC.

Thanks for your time.

Two things. One, you should ony use static IP addresses for servers and
especially domain controllers. OK, three things. After replication is
fixed
change the DHCP scope to give clients both DCs as DNS servers.

Disable the windows firewall on NOODServ (probably what is causing the
connectivity issues). Is this Premium with ISA or just dual nic SBS
standard?

Hello,

1 SBS 2003 SP1 server, 1 Windows 2003 member server as a BDC, 15
clients XP Pro SP2

For some reason I get on the BDC event 13508 errors:

The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication
from TELSERV to NOODSERV for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS
name telserv.bsd.local. FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.


[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name telserv.bsd.local
from this computer.

[2] FRS is not running on telserv.bsd.local.

[3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this
replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers.


This event log message will appear once per connection, After the
problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating
that the connection has been established.

Telserv is the PDC, Noodserv is the BDC. I can ping from the PDC to
the BDC, I can ping all the clients. Everything works fine so far I
can see.
From the BDC I can't ping the PDC. All other connections work oke.

AFAIK dhcp and dns work oke, there are no events in the logs.

On a couple of clients are Userenv errors. Are they related maybe?

The Ipconfig of the PDC and the BDC are attached.

Any help is very welcom, thanks in advance for your time

Dieter

Setting aside the PDC/BDC terminology (for now), it's likely the
Second DC ("BDC") has DNS issues with the First DC ("PDC").

post the output of ipconfig/all from both of your DCs'

Alternativly, run dcdiag /c /e on both and post the complete results.
