Re: Swing migration Q?: problem joining new DC to temp domain

Grabbing at a straw. Have you tunred off the Windows Firewall on both
servers, temp dc and new server? You already did the DNS cleanup and
maybe WINS cleanup?

I my first attempt the problem occured at Phase 3, step A, number 7. "Join
the domain with the DNS requests pointing at the opposite server".
Yes I had seized the roles as directed in Phase 2 Step C

In my current attempt I have stopped at Phase 2 having completed all of step
B. I presume once you have completed Phase 2 Step C, D and E you can not
reconnect the TempDC to the production LAN so my hope is to resolve this so
I don't have to start over again.

As I stated in my first post, in my current state, if I disconnect from the
production domain, connect to a temp switch and try to join the domain with
an unrelated PC it will not see the DC and I will not get the credentials
prompt to join the domain.

Here is some diag info

First attempt dcdiag text
------------------------------------
The domain name DOMAIN might be a NetBIOS domain name. If this is the case,
verify that the domain name is properly registered with WINS.

If you are certain that the name is not a NetBIOS domain name, then the
following information can help you troubleshoot your DNS configuration.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location
(SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain
ARCDESIGN:

The error was: "This operation returned because the timeout period expired."

(error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.DOMAIN

The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not
responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the
following IP addresses:

10.0.0.3 (then current IP of TEMP PC)

Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the
correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is
running.

Current testing dcdiag.txt (after fiddling with DNS some)
---------------------------------------------
DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record
used to locate a domain controller for domain domain.local:

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.local

The following domain controllers were identified by the query:

TempDC.domain.local
ProductionDC.domain.local

Common causes of this error include:

- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP
addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.

- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or
are not running.

Thanks again for your help

Were the FSMO roles transferred to the TEMP DC? also if you could give the
"Phase" and "Step" you are currently at and having this failure will
certainlyhelp for tohse of us who have done the swing migration before.
