Hi all i currently have a Windows 2000 Server DC and a Windows 2003 Server DC the Windows 2003 Server was added to the Windows 2000 Server DC. i would like to eliminate the 2000 DC .I basically removed it but i keep getting this erorr
in the event :
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from KPL-W2KSERVER to KPL-W3KSERVER for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name kpl-w2kserver.kpl.net. FRS will keep retrying.
Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning.
[1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name kpl-w2kserver.kpl.net from this computer.
[2] FRS is not running on kpl-w2kserver.kpl.net.
[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.
and also this one:
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected that successive attempts to replicate with the following domain controller has consistently failed.
Attempts:
3380
Domain controller:
CN=NTDS Settings,CN=KPL-W2KSERVER,CN=Servers,CN=KostuchHeadOffice,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=kpl,DC=net
Period of time (minutes):
50706
The Connection object for this domain controller will be ignored, and a new temporary connection will be established to ensure that replication continues. Once replication with this domain controller resumes, the temporary connection will be removed.
Additional Data
Error value:
8524 The DSA operation is unable to proceed because of a DNS lookup failure.
and one more :
Active Directory could not resolve the following DNS host name of the source domain controller to an IP address. This error prevents additions, deletions and changes in Active Directory from replicating between one or more domain controllers in the forest. Security groups, group policy, users and computers and their passwords will be inconsistent between domain controllers until this error is resolved, potentially affecting logon authentication and access to network resources.
Source domain controller:
kpl-w2kserver
Failing DNS host name:
77eecb40-a979-465b-bbe5-9aa966e2709e._msdcs.kpl.net
NOTE: By default, only up to 10 DNS failures are shown for any given 12 hour period, even if more than 10 failures occur. To log all individual failure events, set the following diagnostics registry value to 1:
Registry Path:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Diagnostics\22 DS RPC Client
User Action:
1) If the source domain controller is no longer functioning or its operating system has been reinstalled with a different computer name or NTDSDSA object GUID, remove the source domain controller's metadata with ntdsutil.exe, using the steps outlined in MSKB article 216498.
2) Confirm that the source domain controller is running Active directory and is accessible on the network by typing "net view \\<source DC name>" or "ping <source DC name>".
3) Verify that the source domain controller is using a valid DNS server for DNS services, and that the source domain controller's host record and CNAME record are correctly registered, using the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE available on
dcdiag /test:dns
4) Verify that that this destination domain controller is using a valid DNS server for DNS services, by running the DNS Enhanced version of DCDIAG.EXE command on the console of the destination domain controller, as follows:
dcdiag /test:dns
5) For further analysis of DNS error failures see KB 824449:
Additional Data
Error value:
11004 The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.
Thanks for all yopur help it is very much appreciated ..
