Adding new domain controller under tree domain

i have one forest root domain is ABC.com and one tree root domain under this forest is DEF.com ,
i want to add a new domain controller under tree root domain in windows server 2008 r2? i need steps and DNS configuration on forest or domain level
Thnx

If you want to add an additional domain controller to a domain you should promote the new dc with the primary dns in the nic settings of the new dc pointing at the current dc and once promoted you should point the original ip address nic settings to
the new dc.  I am making the assumption that you are using AD integrated DNS.

  • An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed.

    "An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed." 
    This is the error message I get whenever I try to connect to my servers domain which I just set up earlier today. I have read through a bunch of other threads on the same error message
    but each of them has had different solutions and none of them have helped me. 
    The one thing that I suspect is related to my problem is that I can't ping my domain on the W7 computer I'm trying to connect. I can ping the server, but not the domain. the domain
    i'm using is set up like "domain.local" . 
    Other things that might be relevant. 
    I'v already set up user accounts and a computer under the Server 2012 active domain administrator settings. 
    I'v port forwarded ports 80 and 443 on the server. 
    The server has a static IPv4 IP adress. I haven't done anything with IPv6 
    The W7 computer has a dynamic IP adress, but I don't think it changes. I believe my router is set up to keep it constant, not 100% sure though. 
    Thanks for any help with this, I'm pretty much out of ideas on this. 

    Hi ZachPrinz,
    Firstly, would you please let us know the outputs of ipconfig /all both of the clients and the DC.
    Also, if you run nslookup FQDN of your DC from your clients, what will you receive?
    Meanwhile, regarding the issue, we can refer to
    the similar thread and see how it works.

  • Replace WS2003 domain controller for WS2012 domain controller

    Hi, I think that is a common problem but I haven't found anythink exactly like this, only something similar, but I have a lot of doubts yet.
    The thing is that I have a network with two domain controllers:
    WS2003     - 192.168.0.1, who is the first domain controller I created and is also a file sharing server
    WS2008R2 - 192.168.0.8, who is a  new domain controller I added one year ago.
    Now, I want to replace the first one, keeping the second. One.
    I thinking of removing the first one and replace it with a new machine (WS2012) with the same IP and name host. I need the same host because clients are pointing to it to get the shared files.
    My main fear is that clients get some error related with trust relationship and I will have to rejoin them one by one to the domain.
    As I have another domain controller, Will the global catalog of the new machine be synchronized automaticly with the WS2008R2 domain controller?
    Do I need to demote the old domain controller before add the new one?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Tomas,
    As pointed by Burakm you should have an additional file server and should avoid using a Domain controller which has priviledged access, to share files. This puts you at a security risk.
    Regarding the requirement of old host name:
    Here is something that would let you keep a different servername and IP, yet allow your users to connect to the old hostname and access the share. Use CNAME records of old server to point it to the new hostname.

  • Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

    Hi,
    I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
    in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller 
    When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
    ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
    The log file logged the details of this error as:
    ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
    that cannot be translated."
    After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
    be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
    I got some pointer from the below thread
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
    However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
    I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
    Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
    Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
    Thanks in advance.

    Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
    Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.

  • Group MSA account fail when Domain Controller in Test Domain Fails to start KdsSvc. Event ID 7023

    Yesterday, in my test domain, I created the KDS root key using the Add-KdsRootKey –EffectiveTime ((get-date).addhours(-10))
    command on a DC that is not the PDC Emulator because it was the server I was on at the time.  Today, when I tried to create gMSA accounts on the PDC emulator, I get:
    Event ID 7023 The Microsoft Key Distribution Service terminated with the following error: An Exception occurred in the service when handling the control request
    I turned on logging on to the KdsSvc and get 2 other errors:
    KdsSvc Event ID 4001: Group Key Distribution Service failed to start. Status 0x80070020
    KdsSvc Event ID 4007: Group Key Distribution Service cannot connect to the domain controller on local host.  Status 0x80070020.  Group Key Distribution Service cannot be started because of the error.  Please contact the administrator to resolve
    the issue.
    I took the opportunity to clean up AD, the Schema, and DNS, but the kds errors continues.  I am replicating successfully, DNS changes are reflected immediately, and when I run the get-KDSRootKey on the failing server, the key is returned.  The
    Get-KdsConfiguration matches the KDS config on the DC that originally ran to create the key.
    I have a pretty strict GPO pushed to my DCs but I am still able to create gMSAs on the other server.  I checked ADS&S and found the msKds-ProvRootKey so I know it is at the domain level, but there is so little documentation on the KdsSvc that I
    am not sure if it is working as planned.  I have tried unassigning several GPO configuration items but I am throwing darts at this point.  I have also uninstalled McAfee AV; IDS/IPS; Firewall.
    With that said, I have questions:
    Will gMSAs still work even though the domain pdc emulator cannot start the service?
    Is the KdsSvc supposed to start only on the server Add-KDSRootKey was originally created?
    What happens if the server the KdsSvc key was created fails and has to be removed from the domain?
    Is there any books or configuration items I can review to learn the KdsSvc better?
    Env:
    Windows Standard Server 2012 R2 x64
    Active Directory 2012 R2 Schema Updated from Windows 2008 R2
    All FSMO roles are on the PDC Emulator which is a Windows 2012 R2 DC

  • Secondary Domain Controller Not Authenticating Domain Users

    Hi.
    I have a primary domain controller running Win Srv 2012 in USA and i added a secondary domain controller 2012 in the same domain from a different location India, through VPN.so that India user accounts can authenticate by the secondary DC instead of primary
    DC USA
    Installation & replication of AD went fine
    India domain users login is damn slow.
    When i ran the command echo %logonserver% from a india client machine,it displays the USA Primary DC name which means its authenticating the users from USA primary DC.
    Preferred DNS for india client machine is Secondary DC IP and alternate is Primary DC IP USA.

    Firstly make sure that you have configured sites and subnets correctly. According to your information which you have two locations, you should have at least 2 sites and 2 subnets associated to them. If you have forgotten to configure subnets of India in your
    site and services and assigned them to the India site you are experiencing this issue. Also make sure if clients in India has appropriate network connectivity to the domain controllers in India.

  • Domain Controller cannot access \\domain\netlogon causing Auth issues

    Hi everyone, I have been spent all day trying to figure out what is going on here, I have a Domain controller (only DC in the environment) that is acting funny
    I first noticed when I was attempting to RDP into a server in my domain I was getting "access denied" (but I could log in as a local admin). So when I looked at the Domain Controller, I ran a DCDiag DNS test and got some an AUTH error, but am not
    able to figure out how to fix this.
    Another thing I notice is when I am signed into the domain Controller (GP2010-a), I cannot browse to
    \\contoso.com\netlogon or any similar share.
    Here is the kicker, other servers on this domain, server3, server4, server5 etc... THEY CAN access
    \\contoso.com\netlogon It is ONLY the Domain controller and Server2 that CANNOT access this share. The other servers also allow me to RDP into them fine, it is only 1 server that is affected by this strange behavior.
    I have checked for no IP conflicts and as far as I can tell all the DNS records are correct.
    Regarding the DYNAMIC ip warning, we have a reservation that assigns the IP
    thanks for any input here as i'm really stuck,

  • Domain Controller (Windows) + Secondary Domain Controller (Mac)

    Can this setup be done to where the windows box would control windows computers, while the secondary controller (xserve) would control the authentication for Macs?

    Hi
    OSX Server can function as a Domain Member in a Windows Server environment. It can’t function as a BDC if the PDC is a Windows Server. The only occasion that OSX Server can function as a BDC to a PDC is when the PDC is an Open Directory Master, in other words another OSX Server. In effect this would be an OD Master and Replica relationship.
    This applied with 10.4 Server. I may be wrong but I’ve not seen anything in the 10.5 Open Directory Admin Manual yet that says different.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • What note when remove an Domain controller from Existing Domain!!!

    Dear everybody,
    My company has 3 Domain controllers at the moment.
    all of them have some functions: DHCP, DNS.
    Now, we have plan to remove an DC/
    So, What note we need to pay attention when remove one of them?
    Thanks for your help!!!

    1. Migrate DHCP first. Using below command
    netsh dhcp server export C:\dhcp.txt all       -old Server
    netsh dhcp server import C:\dhcp.txt all       -New Server.
    2. Enable DNS debug log & see which client still pointing the old DC.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759581%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
    3. Change the DHCP Scope accordingly.

  • Deploy Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller in 2008 domain

    Hi,
    We have three physical windows 2008 enterprise with SP1 32 bit domain controllers, we need to deploy two additional windows 2012 R2 standard as virtual machines on this domain. Do we need to install SP2 on the existing Windows 2008 sp1 DCs or we are fine?
    What are other requirements?  

    It is not required.
    Just your Forest/Domain Functional level should be Windows Server 2003 or higher to be able to add Windows Server 2012 R2 DCs.
    Please note that it is always recommended to have your Windows Operating Systems up-to-date to avoid known security attacks and known bugs.

  • Adding a domain controller to an existing Domain inside server 2012

     I have created a domain contoso.com with an administrator account.Then i moved to 2nd server which i want to add in this existing domain.Being logged in at the 2nd server with administrator account, i added the role of ADDS and then i tried to promote
    this to DC.While do so, i selected the option "Add a domain controller to existing domain".When i finally recah this the Installation wizard , it shows like "creating NDTS settings objects fo this ADDS on remote ADDC(domain name)..........This
    page remains in progress for ages and process never finishes.
        When i check at the first(main domain) , there is no NDTS object for the added DC although i can see  the server but nothing inside it.NDTS object should be there.Y
    1) NDTS object is not created ?
    2) The process is taking hours?
    Both can ping each other
    Regards,

    1. IP of DNS setting on second server points to first DC.
    2. Add second computer to domain. Make sure that second server is part of AD (member).
    3. Add role ADDS on second server that is member of AD.
    In summary: You should add second server to domain first before promoting it to DC role.

  • Version number for GPO's not in sync with the version number for GPO's on the Baseline domain controller

    Hi
    I accidentally removed one of our domain controller's hyper-v image (DC-02) from the hyper-v manager and to bring it back online launched a new virtual machine using the same virtual hard drive. This brought back the domain controller machine and I set the
    original IP address to the same assuming that everything would just working fine.
    Sadly, that wasn't the case as when I tried to open the group policy manager on that machine I started getting "Access is denied" error. I was then presented with an option to open the group policy manager with the first available DC which I did
    and was able to open it with showing the same machine as the baseline domain controller under the status tab (DC-01 is actually the baseline DC). I then clicked Detect now and noticed it was showing 1 DC under replication in progress with problems in GPO version.
    I then did the same thing on the primary DC (DC-01) and even there it was showing this only (images attached).
    So I started exploring over the internet going through various articles but couldn't find a solution which I could apply without worrying about corrupting something somewhere. I also went to the SYSVOL folder on both the DC's to check the version number
    in GPT.ini files which are mentioned below:
    \\CC-DC01\sysvol\cloudchowk.lab\Policies\{6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9}

    Could anyone please help me sort this out? I am no system admin and whatever knowledge I have of setting up DC, AD etc is from following one article or the other over the internet.

    The DFS Replication service initialized SYSVOL at local path C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain and is waiting to perform initial replication. The replicated folder will remain in the initial synchronization state until it has replicated with its partner CC-DC01.cloudchowk.lab. If the server was in the process of being promoted to a domain controller, the domain controller will not advertize and function as a domain controller until this issue is resolved. This can occur if the specified partner is also in the initial synchronization state, or if sharing violations are encountered on this server or the synchronization partner. If this event occurred during the migration of SYSVOL from File Replication service (FRS) to DFS Replication, changes will not replicate out until this issue is resolved. This can cause the SYSVOL folder on this server to become out of sync with other domain controllers.

  • ISSUE: "This domain controller must register a DNS SRV resource record, which is required for replication to function correctly"

    so we currently have three domain controllers set up, two of them on 2012r2 and one of them on 2008r2. prior to any of these domain controllers being added to the domain there was only one, running on 2003r2. the 2003r2 server was up and running when the
    first 2012r2 was added and that's when running 'dcdiag /e /c /v' would yield an issue with "_ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local" in the DNS portion of the diagnostics, specifically:
    TEST: Records registration (RReg)
    Network Adapter [00000010] Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter:
    Error:
    Missing SRV record at DNS server 192.168.22.4:
    _ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local
    after adding the second 2012r2 to the domain, this issue is still there... adding the 2008r2 server to the domain and running BPA it gives the following:
    Title:
    This domain controller must register a DNS SRV resource record, which is required for replication to function correctly
    Severity:
    Error
    Date:
    7/3/2014 11:24:48 AM
    Category:
    Configuration
    Issue:
    The "DcByGuid" DNS service (SRV) resource record that advertises this server as an available domain controller in the domain and ensures correct replication is not registered. All domain controllers (but not RODCs) in the domain must register this record.
    Impact:
    Other member computers and domain controllers in the domain or forest will not be able to locate this domain controller. This domain controller will not be able to provide a full suite of services.
    Resolution:
    Ensure that "DcByGuid" is not configured in the "DnsAvoidRegisteredRecords" list, either through Group Policy or through the registry. Restart the Netlogon service. Verify that the DNS service (SRV) resource record "_ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local", pointing to the local domain controller "CM-DC4-NY01.cmedia.local", is registered in DNS.
    More information about this best practice and detailed resolution procedures: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=126968
    I've tried scanning and then re-scanning every single entry in DNS Manager and do not see any reference to this specific GUID mentioned, nor do I see any other domain controllers referenced that should not be in there. The two 2012r2 and the 2008r2 domain
    controllers are the only ones listed in DNS Manager... the 2003r2 mentioned earlier failed and was removed.

    Just to chime in, I noticed that you said you have one 2008 R2 DC, and two 2012 DCs.
    I also noticed in the ipconfig /all that all DCs are pointint to themselves for DNS. We usually like to see them point to a partner, then itslelf as the second entry, w hether loopback or by its own IP.
    Based on that, what I suggest to level the playing field by choosing the WIndows 2008 R2 DC as the first DNS on all DCs and only administer DNS using that DC. The reason I chose that is because of the least common denominator is what we rather use so we
    don't invoke any new features in the newer 2012 DNS console that 2008 R2 may not understand.  After that's done, on each DC run (and you can use a PowerShell window to run this):
    Rename the system32\config\netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb files by suffixing ".old" to the file.
    ipconfig /registerdns
    net stop netlogon
    net start netlogon
    Then re-run the dcdiag /e /c /v.
    Post your results, please.

    I thought the DNS entries were supposed to be the other way around? point to themselves first and a partner as secondary? regardless, as requested, I've changed it to what you've prescribed where they point to the 2008r2 server as the primary with themselves
    as the secondary. I've also followed the steps to what seems like refreshing the DNS? on each of the DCs. Here's the output from dcdiag /e /c /v

  • Application directory Partition, Reverse lookup Zone , after Installation of Tree Domain

    I have multiple domains (Windows Server 2008 Enterprize, and funtional level 2008) in an exisiting forest
    after installation of new Tree domain i am facing the problem in creating reverse zone in DNS
    Error message
    "the partition to replicate zone data top all dns server that domain controllers on the active directory ws not created. The application directory partition operation failed. the domain controller holding the domain naming master role is down or unable
    to service the request or is not running windows 2003"
    plz reply soon i am facing a trouble .
    Wajahat

    The error message states that your domain naming master role holder is down or not responding.
    First, you need to identify which one of your DCs is the holder of this FSMO role: You can use
    netdom query fsmo command for that. If there is no DC that is currently holding this FSMO role then you need to size to one of them: https://support.microsoft.com/KB/255504?wa=wsignin1.0
    If one of your DCs is holding the role then you need to check why it is not responding or unreachable. This could be checked by running
    dcdiag on this DC to do a health check.
    I would also recommend that you refer to recommendations I shared here: http://www.ahmedmalek.com/web/fr/articles.asp?artid=23

  • Remove domain controller 2008 from active directory

    Hi,
    I have 2 DC 2008R2 & i have 2 ts one of them don't get the GPO i do everything i found that my 2 dc don't replicate good i can see the different on sysvol folder.
    After that i explain my self, My question if i remove the dc (its not the fsmo dc its the second), and after removing i add this dc ?
    I need to check some checks before ?
    After removing i need to delete from the dns record
    ?After Adding the same dc to the domain i need to check something ?
    Thanks
    Zahi

    Hi,   
    >i want to remove my dc and replace him with new dc.
    You can add a new DC to a domain, and then remove the DC that you want to remove.
    To add a DC to a domain, after add server to a domain, we can run dcpromo to install AD.
    After server 2012, Adprep.exe commands run automatically as needed as part of the AD DS installation process.
    For more detailed information about Adprep.exe, you can refer to the following link:
