Hello All, hope the xmas period has been enjoyable!!

Back to the grind of work...

I have a site where the DC seems to be out of loop from the domain. The symptoms I have are the DC is a DNS server but I can see no zones in the Forward Lookup Zones section. I am getting Kerberos and DNS errors aswell as replication issues e.g. cannot replicate from the DC in other site etc.

I followed an MS article where I rebooted the DC after I had disabled the kerberos service and then ran netdom resetpw query which said it worked. After rebooting and restarting the service the problem still remained. I ran netdom verify and it said that the DC was trusted and ok but dcdaig tests still fail (most of them) and when I open computer management and point it to another server I get access denied and net view \\server also gets me access denied but not when I use IP!!

Bit long winded but thought Id try to explain it all, anyone have any other suggestions? Im thinking of demoting and promoting but think that will fail too?
 
Also is there any firewall (physical or software) involved?

Also, can you resolve the name of the domain from that DC? NSLOOKUP? also, tracert the IP of the PDC Emulator from the DC you are having trouble with. DNS configuration may be your main issue.
