Hello,
I have a question about Windows 2003 R2 and the DFS-R functionality.
My domain consists of Windows 2003 SP1 domain controllers, and mostly 2003 SP1 servers.
I've recently migrated my file servers to 2003 SP2, with R2
I'm designing a DFS-R topology, but even before I've started setting things up, I've noticed a lot of errors in the event log on my fileservers (after installing the DFS-R components, that is)
Under the "DFS Replication" log, about every 8 hours, I'm getting 2 error events :
Event ID 6012, followed by Event ID 1202, both on the DFSR Source
6012:
The DFS Replication service detected an incompatible Active Directory schema version while trying to read configuration objects from server xxxx.my.test.domain.com. The service disconnected from this server and will try again in the next polling cycle.
1202:
The DFS Replication service failed to contact domain controller to access configuration information. Replication is stopped. The service will try again during the next configuration polling cycle, which will occur in 60 minutes. This event can be caused by TCP/IP connectivity, firewall, Active Directory, or DNS issues.
Additional Information:
Error: 1168 (Element not found.)
The messages seem pretty clear to me - it looks like I cannot use DFSR until I do the R2 schema update on my domain controllers...
I've tried to avoid schema updates for a long long time, but I looks like I'll have to go down that road anyhow.
People I spoke with, resources on the internet are not very clear on what to do next, so that is the reason why I'm posting this question
Given the following topology, what do I have to do to make it work :
1. forest "domain.com" (2 DC's)
child domain "test.domain.com" (2 DC's)
child domain of test.domain.com :
my.test.domain.com (4 DC's)
All of the domain controllers are running 2003 SP1
2. The file servers are part of my.test.domain.com. The file servers are running 2003 SP2, with R2
Questions :
Do I have to install R2 on one or more domain controllers ? Or do I just need to run the schema update ?
Where do I need to run the schema update ? In the root domain (domain.com) ? Or in the child child domain my.test.domain.com ?
Anything else I need to look at ?
thanks
