10.4.9 as Domain Controller fails daily for Windows clients

I have a 10.4.9 Open Directory Master server which also serves as a PDC for Windows XP clients. Windows clients can log in and get roaming profiles with shared homes for Mac and Windows environments. This all works fine.
But, for the last week, every morning, the Windows clients cannot find the domain. I can replace the /etc/smb.conf file with a saved good file, restart the Windows service and all works fine until the next morning, where it fails again. Simply restarting the Windows service does not help; it needs to be reconfigured with a new smb.conf file.
Mac clients can authenticate and connect via smb. The Windows XP Pro clients are up to date with latest updates, so there could be a problem from that, but the updates don't match the date the problems started. The start of the problem coincided with removing an Open Directory Replica, which was no longer needed. It is probably unrelated, but it is the only change I can think of.
There must be some overnight process which resets some setting. Anyone have an idea?
Thanks for any help!
Mostly Xserve servers   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   400 + node Open Directory domain Win & Mac All Mac servers
Macs & PCs (too many!)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Tom,
We destroyed our domain and rejoined all our XP boxes. This did not fix the problem. There appears to be a bug in Apple samba-100.7 (10.4.9).
As a quick fix we extracted the smbd binary and smbd.plist from a 10.4.8 combo update (Note: you could also grab the files from a working 10.4.8 install)...
1. Download the 10.4.8 combo update from http://www.apple.com/support
2. Mount the 10.4.8 update .dmg
3. In Terminal navigate to the folder containing Archive.pax.gz, in our case this was...
cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Server\ 10.4.8\ Combined\ Update/MacOSXSrvrCombo10.4.8PPC.mpkg/Contents/Installers/MacOSXSvrCmbBase10.4.8 PPC.pkg/Contents
4. Copy Archive.pax.gz to a location on your HDD, like Desktop
cp Archive.pax.gz ~/Desktop
5. Unzip Archive.pax.gz
cd ~/Desktop
gunzip Archive.pax.gz
6. Grab a copy of Pacifist and use it to open Archive.pax
7. Using Pacifist, extract (drag and drop) the following files from the archive to your Desktop...
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
/usr/sbin/smbd
Note: We are going to replace smb in the next step, best backup the current copies of the above files before proceeding.
8. Open Terminal again...
Stop SMB...
sudo serveradmin stop smb
Replace samba with 10.4.8 version...
sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd /usr/sbin/smbd
sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
9. Restart SMB and the process is complete...
sudo serveradmin start smb
Cheers,
Tim

  • Error determining whether the target server is already a domain controller: Failed to open the runspace pool

    Hi there , i already have some others DC running w2k12 R2 on the env, but when i was promoting another new DC running w2k12 R2 on the middle of the AD sync , the server encounter an error and rebooted it self ; after the server came back online , it keep
    saying that a configuration is required for AD Domain Services , like the step when you are about to promote the server , but when you try to promote it , the error "Error determining whether the target server is already a domain controller: Failed

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    Please waitting for the replication is finished and rerun the domain prep command  to check the result.

  • Windows 2012 Domain Controller: Failed to open the runspace pool. The Server Manager WinRM plug-in might be corrupted or missing

    Hi all,
    We have been battling a problem for the last couple of days when we try to add the first windows server 2012 DC to an already existing Domain.
    The Server installation goes smoothly and we can add the computer to the domain and its all green.
    After we promote the server to a domain controller the WinRM service starts acting up (not responding anymore).
    The server manager console shows Remote Management as disabled, and when we try to enable it via the console or Powershell it freezes up.
    The AD DS part of the console is saying that there are post-promotion tasks that need to be completed but once we click on the task it takes us to the promotion wizard again, that basically complains that: Failed to open the runspace pool. The Server Manager
    WinRM plug-in might be corrupted or missing.
    In the Remote Management Event log we see the following entry: "The client got a timeout from the network layer (ERROR_WINHTTP_TIMEOUT)" Event ID 138
    We are unable to do anything with the server (demote, add roles, remotely manage...). We tryed the following already:
    1. Recreate from scratch
    2. Checking the GPOs to see if there is anything setup about RM -> came up with nothing
    We just ran out of ideas so HELP PLEASE !

  • Move Windows Domain Controller 2012 to other Windows Domain Controller 2012 eniveroment

    Dear All,
    I Have Windows Domain Controller 2012 and but this server have a lot of issue so I need to ask you if I can move this server to other new server as is old server if yes can you please guide me how to do that ?
    Regards, 

    Hello Khaleel,
    Your question doesnt specify what kind of errors are there on DC 2012. Try to resolve those errors.
    Incase the server cannot be remediated, you can demote the server from being a DC.
    you can demote the server using:
    http://terrytlslau.tls1.cc/2012/03/domain-controller-demotion-on-windows.html
    Please ensure, there is another DC in the domain and the FSMO roles , GC have been transferred to another server.

  • Question about adding Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller, into a native Windows 2008 R2 single forest domain

    I current have a two server domain, both Windows 2008 R2 and fully updated.   The two servers are on subnet 10.0.1.0 /24
    - Windows 2008 R2 Server A: 10.0.1.1 (DC, GC, FSMO, DNS)
    - Windows 2008 R2 Server B: 10.0.1.2 (DC, GC)
    AD Domain: COMPANY.LOCAL
    I have a second connected subnet, 192.168.1.0 /24) which is routed to the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet and I would like to install a Windows 2012 R2 server onto a server on that subnet and make it a domain controller with AD-Integrated DNS and DHCP for the 192.168.1.0
    /24 subnet.
    - Windows 2012 R2 Server C: 192.168.1.1
    What are the proper progression steps, in order to bring up the Windows 2012 R2 server and then add it to my COMPANY.LOCAL domain and then promote it do a DC/GC/AD-Integrated DNS server?   Are they anything like the following:
    1. Install Windows 2012 R2 server (Server C)
    2. Point Windows 2012 R2 server DNS servers at Server's A and B
    3. Perform AD prep to extend AD schema to support Windows 2012 R2 domain controllers
    4. Promote Windows 2012 R2 server to domain controller (install local DNS service on Server C, during this step)
    * Question:  Will Windows automatically create a DNS zone for the Windows 2012 R2 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) AND also include the DNS zone from the previous Windows 2008 R2 domain (10.0.1.0 /24)?  Or will I need to add the 10.0.1.0 /24 zone to the DNS
    server on Server C, even though the DNS from the Windows 2008 R2 domain is AD integrated?

    Hi,
    Regarding the issue here, please take a look into below articles:

  • Bug found in Deploy a domain controller and member using Windows Azure Virtual Machines. With fix

    I have been working with the script found at
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Deploy-a-domain-controller-2ab7d658 as a base for my azure deployments. I ran into a situation where if a VNetwork already had a DNS entry it wouldn't allow you to add another DNS entry. It would give
    an error similar to  
    Property 'DnsServersRef' cannot be found on this object. Make sure that it exists.
    This happened at line 447 of the original script.
    Line 447 looks like:
    $dnsServersRefElement = $foundVirtualNetworkSite.DnsServersRef
    I fixed the error by adding .node after $foundVirtualNetworkSite. Like this:
    $dnsServersRefElement = $foundVirtualNetworkSite.Node.DnsServersRef
    I hope that this gets fixed in the original script or that my post helps someone in the future.

  • 2008 R2 Domain Controller PDC Emulator for SP1 upgrade

    So my PDC is 2008 R2 and need to bring it up to SP1. Does anyone think I need to move that role to another server before upgrading it or upgrade it in place?

    Simply install SP1. No need to move anything.
    Of course, it is recommended to take a system state backup of your DC before proceeding.

    Help the forum: Monitor(alert) your threads and vote helpful replies or mark them as answer, if it helps solving your problem.
    Either you restore it from backup or you simply seize its FSMO roles to another DC, do a metadata cleanup and then re-install the server and promote it again.

  • Primary Domain Controller Time not working (Windows Server 2008)

    Hi there, I'm trying to set up my PDC with an external
    before you say anything I have checked other thread and none of them helped and please do not suggest OS upgrades, we don't have the budget for that
    we have 4 DC servers (not the real names)
    DC1-Site1 (PDC), DC2-Site1, DC1-Site2 & DC2-Site2
    All the other DCs and all the machines pick up the time from DC1-Site1, but this is out of sync with NTP
    I've set DC1-Site1 to look at 0.uk.pool.ntp.org, 1.uk.pool.ntp.org, 2.uk.pool.ntp.org and 3.uk.pool.ntp.org using w32tm (yes i was running command prompt as administrator)
    I am using a physical server not a virtual server
    I have checked all the registry keys and they are correct, but when i do w32tm /mointor it is pointing to itself
    I have tired creating a GPO for the PDC and this is being applied when I check with gpresult /r but this still doesn't sync the time with the NTP server
    when i do w32tm /stripchart my PDU is +53.4 seconds out of sync with 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
    it's not the firewall as the PDU can connect to 0.uk.pool.ntp.org on the correct port
    C:\Windows\system32>w32tm /stripchart /computer:0.uk.pool.ntp.org /samples:10 /dataonly
    Tracking 0.uk.pool.ntp.org [130.159.196.118:123].
    Collecting 10 samples.
    The current time is 16/05/2014 14:18:39.
    14:18:39, +53.4132568s
    14:18:41, +53.4028126s
    14:18:43, +53.4034405s
    14:18:45, +53.4033245s
    14:18:47, +53.4026014s
    14:18:49, +53.4091998s
    14:18:51, +53.4024996s
    14:18:53, +53.3945750s
    14:18:55, +53.4022851s
    14:18:57, +53.4021697s

    The PDC Emulator in the forest root is the only one that you sync with an outside source, and the source can be  your own interna,, 3rd party time service not running on a joined machine, or an external source such as US Navy servers, etc. All other
    DCs in the entire forest, no matter what domain or tree, are set to sync from the hierarchy.
    For the most part, just following the steps in my blog should help for the PDC and all other DCs. I thought I layed out the steps pretty clearly, since I put it together for someone else to follow at a major, enterprise environment, and they've found it
    successul.
    So I'm not sure what you mean by "...primary DC time server service information not save or it will save then revert back to looking at itself?" 
    If the PDC or any other DC, have problems with the time service and the steps in my blog don't help, or any other service, the cause may be rooted elsewhere. To determine that, would require config info including an ipconfig /all from each DC,
    event log errors in the various AD logs and System logs, site design, number of domains in the forest, and more.

  • Configure PDC domain for windows Client

    Hello,
    Forgive my approximate English.
    I need help to install a server Mac with a domain Activate directory ( PDC) so clients Windows connect to it.
    I installed th server Mac Os to create a master Open Directory.
    Mac OS Server has to configure the DNS with host's name.
    The customers Windows 8.1 see the server on the network.
    They indeed answer Ping.
    NSlookup does not return error.
    But when I attempt to configure the domain on the client Windows, it does not find the server. (An error DNS returned?)
    Thank you for your help.

    t is possible then for the Mac Server to supply the following services for clients Windows:
    - File sharing with rights.
    - Management of group user.
    - Possibility of imposing a police of security of password.
    Thank you, it will be everything.
    Yes a Mac server can provide file sharing to Windows users, yes it can set permissions for those files and folders being shared
    No it cannot do the equivalent of Group Policies as used to manage Windows systems
    Yes it can define rules for passwords such as length, how long before it must be changed, how often it can be reused, etc.

  • DFS Replication failed to contact Domain Controller.....

    I have seen this error since the inception of this stand alone AD PDC instance of Windows server 2012 R2 Essentials. I understand that Essentials does not support other Domain Controllers ; Member servers ; or trust between Domains of any kind. I also
    understand that DSF Replication is a service that replicates files between other servers and other domain servers that Essentials dose not want to talk to.
    So my question is why am I seeing this DFSR error 1202  in my event log, if Essentials does not support communication to other servers and domain servers? Maybe a better question is why does Essentials even try to implement this
    service? Do I even need to try to resolve this issue or should I just disable it and move on?

    Hi, 
    Did you mean that you did not configure a DFS server in the new DC but you get the DFSR error 1202 in your event log? Then the issue is not related to the existing SBS domain. 
    Please try to turn off the Windows Firewall to check if it causes the issue. You could also refer to the articles below to troubleshoot the issue:

  • Domain Controller Authentication Fail Since Upgrade

    When I boot my Mac Pro at the office, the network's domain controller prompts me for my domain login. Since upgrading to Yosemite, the domain controller rejects my credentials. However, I can go to "Connect To Server" and browser the entire network despite the domain controller not authenticating me as a user.
    To summarize, since switching to Yosemite:
    1. Can't login to the network when I submit my credentials
    2. Can browse the network without my credentials
    My theory is that the only reason #2 works is because #1 is working but Yosemite is just mistakenly telling me I wasn't authenticated.
    So what's the problem you may ask if I can browse the network anyway? The problem is that I can't mount any of the network drives to my desktop because Yosemite doesn't think I'm authenticated to do such. If I can solve this authentication problem, then I should get my mounted network drives back.
    Thanks in advance.

                      Warning: Adapter 00:0D:3A:00:0D:01 has dynamic IP address
                      (can be a misconfiguration)
    Do you have any NIC conifgured to get dynamic IP on your DC which is having issue? If yes, please disable that NIC. Also, please provide me the result of the below
    1) On your DC which is having issue, run "ipconfig /all"
    2) Repadmin /showrepl
