OD Master/PDC, 10.4.11, why xp clients unable to locate domain controller?

After a migration/upgrade from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 Server, windows XP clients are intermittently unable to log in to or even bind to the PDC running on that server.
I did a clean format and install from the 10.4 media, choosing the standalone server type, and applied all the Software Updates, I got forward and reverse DNS working for my zone, then I followed the instructions at http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20050615173039158 to move my OD from a working 10.3.9 server to 10.4.
This server goes against the usual recommendations, as it provides DNS, OD master, PDC and file services to 32 clients all in the same subnet, 20 running Windows XP SP2 and 12 running OS X Client 10.4.x or 10.5.x.
File services and various other users of the OD/LDAP, for example Wildfire Jabber/XMPP server and Apache2/LDAP running on a separate Linux server, are able to authenticate against the new 10.4.11 OD.
However, at this point the symptoms become intermittent approx. 40% of the Windows XP clients were unable to log in with various domain accounts, yielding errors of the form "Unable to find domain FOO". If I remove a client from the domain by joining it to WORKGROUP and rebooting, then try to join FOO again, I'll get an error, "Unable to locate Domain Controller for FOO..."
The set-up:
My server's FQDN is myserver.foo.example.com
The server's DNS is authoritative for the 10.10.10.0/24, foo.example.com zone and I have the trailing dot's in the right places, so ping myserver.foo.example.com, ping myserver, and ping 10.10.10.10 (server's example IP from the foo.example.com zone) all work correctly.
The DHCP server for this vlan is providing my DNS server to the clients, but is providing no netbios server. The XP clients are all set to use the DHCP server setting, which, according to the TCP/IP Advanced Settings panel, means that they'll revert to netbios over tcp/ip since no wins server is specified.
In Server Admin->Windows->General:
Role: Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Description: FOO Domain at example.com
Computer Name: myserver
Domain: FOO
Server Admin->Windows->Access:
Allow Guest Access: Check
Client Connections: Unlimited
Authentication: NTLMv2 & Kerberos, NTLM, and LAN Manager: All check
Logging->Log Detail: High
Advanced->Code Page: Latin US
Services: Workgroup Master browser and Domain master browser: check
WINS Registration: Off
Homes: Enable virtual share points: check
Should my Windows service on 10.4.11 be providing WINS or not? If so, should the DHCP server be set to point the clients to it? If not, how do the XP clients reliably resolve the FOO domain?
Why did all these XP clients work fine with a 10.3.9 Windows PDC but don't work with 10.4.11?
Another strange point - I can use the XP-side 'net view' command to poke around and things look reasonable. I.E. even the clients that aren't joined to the domain and can't locate the domain controller will return sane results for 'net view /domain:FOO'.

The new PDC does use the same domain name as the old PDC, and the SID mismatch is at least partially to blame. After I'd performed the upgrade and confused the windows clients, I saw the advice on using samba's net command to duplicate the old PDC's SID to the new PDC. Maybe someday I'll have the opportunity to try that.
I resorted to removing all the XP clients from the domain and re-joining them. The XP clients were still able to contact the domain intermittently. I used various command-line tools on the XP side, including the built-in net command as well as some others I downloaded such as the quite useful http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/findpdc/index.htm, as well as the client-side error messages during the domain join attempts and the messages in the Event log, to determine that the clients couldn't find the domain.
The XP client TCP/IP settings state that the clients will revert to using netbios if no WINS server is specified, but that clearly wasn't working reliably, so I just enabled the WINS server on the PDC, told the DHCP server to hand out its address for the netbios-related options for that subnet, rebooted the PDC, waited a while for things to settle out, and now all the clients can reliably find the PDC.
I still have no idea why the WINS-less set-up worked in 10.3 server but didn't work in 10.4 server, but believe me, I'll remember it now!

  • Why development system is considered as domain controller ???

    Hi ,
    SAP recommends Production system as domain controller .Resaon is PRD is secured and has more availability.
    But ,Most of the customer systems development system is set as Domail controller.
    My guess on this point is , Development system will get installed fisrt in landscape and while configuring the STMS we have to use this system as domain controller.Later this scenario is not changed.
    Please let me know why development system is set as domain controller. I have see most of the customer systems are having DEV as domain controller. That's why I would like to know about this point.
    Thanks in advance.
    Venkat

    Hi
    To be specific, few clients do it, thinking of failover case. If your PRD system fails for some reason, it would effect the whole transport system if it is the domain controller.
    While if they make DEV or QA as domain controller, this can be ruled out.
    Again for QA, since it is assumed to be a copy of PRD system, and regularly experiences System refresh with PRD data, which would result in QA downtime, regularly. Which again is undesirable for a working transport system.
    So, inspite of recommendation by SAP for PRD system as domain controller, client goes for DEV system as domain controller.
    Hope this clarifies your question.
    Regards
    Rahul

  • Why am I unable to delete the default track (which seems to act as the master, right?) after making a rough mix?  Is it possible to delete the default track after having rendered a mix?

    Why am I unable to delete the default track (which seems to act as the master, right?) after making a rough mix?  Is it possible to delete the default track after having rendered a mix?  I did a rough mix and now cannot change the song as the tracks that were a part of the rough mix seem to remain in the song even though I mute the tracks for a new mix.  For instance, I played and recorded a different bass line.  Muted the original, but when trying to create the new mix I can hear the original bass line even though I have muted that track.  It seems to remain in the previous master (default) track.  Please send help.  Thank you.

    Before answering your question, you have to make sure you understand the difference between the different track types in GarageBand.
    Tracks, you record your music on
    There are three types of those Tracks.
    MIDI Tracks (aka Software Instrument Tracks)
    Audio Tracks (aka Real Instrument Tracks)
    Drummer Track (only one per Project)
    Global Tracks
    These are the Tracks that can be shown/hidden at the top of the Tracks Area for specific purposes.
    Arrangement Track
    Movie Track
    Transposition Track
    Tempo Track
    Master Track
    This Track can also be shown/hidden in the Tracks Area. Please note, you cannot delete that Track, only hide it, similar to the Global Tracks
    Regarding the Tracks you record your music on,  you can delete any of those. It doesn't matter if you created them or there are part of a Template (maybe that  is what you refer to as the default track). Once you delete the last Track, the "New Track Window" will pop up to add a new track.
    I will explain all that in much more detail in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works".
    Hope that helps

  • Unable to join domain when OD Master is set up as PDC

    Hi all,
    I'm working on trying to get my OD server to authenticate our new windows vmware workstations. I have both LDAP and Kerberos set up, and everything works really well with my OS X clients, as do our Linux servers. However, I'm unable to get our windows clients authenticating. I can browse the "spidertracks" computer as well as the Samba shares, so the shares themselves are working. I'm simply unable to join our Windows 7 64Bit clients to the domain to authenticate with OD accounts. Here is what I have configured in the samba settings. Am I missing something? I've read the manual nearly 20 times, and joining the domain simply doesn't work, so I'm guessing I've missed a configuration somewhere when creating my Kerberos realm. Is there a command I can use to validate my samba settings are correctly running as a PDC?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    Bump:
    Rather than starting a new thread,
    I am fighting with the same thing on one of our servers, this is an issue that was fixed by the Samba guys, but I can't deploy their fix and still use OD.
    I'm starting to think that our experiment using OSX instead of linux as a server may be at an end, I keep spending a lot of effort chasing down issues that are solved months ago on linux.
    Somebody help, I dont want to be told to get rid of the shiny Mac ( or more likely bootcamp it to linux )

  • What is the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure of placing "FSMO Roles on Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and Additional Domain Controller (ADC)"??

    Hi,
    I have Windows Server 2008 Enterprise  and have
    2 Domain Controllers in my Company:
    Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
    Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
    My (PDC) was down due to Hardware failure, but somehow I got a chance to get it up and transferred
    (5) FSMO Roles from (PDC) to (ADC).
    Now my (PDC) is rectified and UP with same configurations and settings.  (I did not install new OS or Domain Controller in existing PDC Server).
    Finally I want it to move back the (FSMO Roles) from
    (ADC) to (PDC) to get UP and operational my (PDC) as Primary. 
    (Before Disaster my PDC had 5 FSMO Roles).
    Here I want to know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
    In case if Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
    Example like (FSMO Roles Distribution between both Servers) should be……. ???
    Primary Domain Controller (PDC) Should contains:????
    Schema Master
    Domain Naming Master
    Additional Domain Controller (ADC) Should contains:????
    RID
    PDC Emulator
    Infrastructure Master
    Please let me know the best practice and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles.
    I will be waiting for your valuable comments.
    Regards,
    Muhammad Daud

    Here I want to know the best practice
    and Microsoft best recommended procedure for the placement of “FSMO Roles both on (PDC) and (ADC)” ?
    There is a good article I would like to share with you:http://oreilly.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
    For me, I do not really see a need to have FSMO roles on multiple servers in your case. I would recommend making it simple and have a single DC holding all the FSMO roles.
    In case if
    Primary (DC) fails then automatically other Additional (DC) should take care without any problem in live environment.
    No. This is not true. Each FSMO role is unique and if a DC fails, FSMO roles will not be automatically transferred.
    There is two approaches that can be followed when an FSMO roles holder is down:
    If the DC can be recovered quickly then I would recommend taking no action
    If the DC will be down for a long time or cannot be recovered then I would recommend that you size FSMO roles and do a metadata cleanup
    Attention! For (2) the old FSMO holder should never be up and online again if the FSMO roles were sized. Otherwise, your AD may be facing huge impacts and side effects.

    I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
    At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
    This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

    I suspected some issue with AV so uninstalled. 
    To resolve the Access Denied I followed these steps: 
    stop w32time
    w32tm /unregister
    reboot
    regsvr32 /u w32time.dll
    w32tm /register
    sc query w32time -- you should see that the service is set to
    shared mode -- this is presumably how it should be -- if you try to start right now, you'll get the expected 1290 SID-related error
    reboot
    w32time should now automatically start at boot up and be running -- that was my result -- it's running as shared, started on its own, and I can do the w32tm /query commands successfully
    After rebooting the time service started. 
    I then repeated the steps: 
    net stop w32time
    w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org"
    w32tm /config /reliable:yes
    net start w32time
    w32tm /query /configuration 
    And all worked. I'll wait a short while to see if this fixes the issue. I also have am SA case with MS so will confirm fix when resolved.

    Hi all - I downloaded the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak file to make changes to the logon page.  I renamed the PAR file after it was downloaded, made my changes, and exported back into the portal.  Everything is fine....I just have a question in terms of what the difference is between what appears to be 3 locations where this file is located.  First, it appears that the file I exported is now located at:
    ROOT/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps   (timestamp 10:25:22 AM)
    However, there are backup versions (.bak) located in the following locations;
    ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/pcd  (timestamp 10:24:46 AM)
    ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp   (timestamp 10:25:06 AM)
    It appears as though the file is loaded into pcd, then to temp, and then to portalapps?  What exactly is it doing, and why are there 2 backup files?
    Regards,
    Steve

    I understand the problem. Here are some ideas:
    1) Permission repair only affects files in the system, userfiles are ignored.
    2) For large file transfer, you must be hardwired. Wi-Fi is insufficient for transferring large files.
    3) When copying Mac files to a Windows filesystem, illegal characters in a filename will cause the operation to stop without any informational error message. In any case, copying large files to a Windows machine is not very reliable. I recommend Mac-formatted network storage.
    4) When attempting to mount a nonexistent network disk, Finder stalls with a 5 minute timeout. The solution is to add a "Quit Finder" menu item to the Finder icon in the Dock.
    5) If the machine uses a dynamic localnet address, Finder is unable to locate an aliased network disk that has changed. You need to mount the disk with the "Connect to Server" dialog first to fix the aliase(s). A DNS setup may help to locate machines by hostname rather than IP address.
    6) Switches are problematic. If you are using switches rather than routers you may be seeing congestion on machines connected to the switch.
    7) I highly recommend rsync triggered by a cronjob running in the wee hours of the morning. rsync is robust and persistent in file copying.

    Why can't Find iPhone locate all my devices ?
    It finds my iPhone, iPod, and only one of 2 iPads.
    Sometimes, only finds iPhone and iPod only.
    I don't use iCloud...had very bad experiences with it !!!
    Lost all my Contacts and had duplicates and triplicates of entries in my Calender.
    Took a long time to get back to "normal"
    Stays far away from iCloud now !

    Find My iPhone relies on iCloud.  (It used to use MobileMe and may still do that, but that service is going away at the end of June, so you need your iCloud account for Find My iPhone.)
