Redundant domain controller DNS settings
Hi guys,
We have two domain controllers, both DNS and GC. I am curious as to what the recommended IP DNS settings should be for both DCs? I think it is like this...
DC1
DNS1 - DC2
DNS2 - DC1
DC2
DNS1 - DC1
DNS2 - DC2
Is this the right setup?
Thanks
Aaron
Is this the right setup?
Yes it is correct. I would go with 127.0.0.1 for 'Alternate DNS server'.

New Domain controller, DNS client settings before FSMO transfer
I recently promoted a new domain controller. It is the fourth domain controller and third in the site. I plan to decommission the other two domain controllers in the site leaving just the new one. Right now the new domain controller points
its tcp\ip client to the other other domain controller\DNS servers as primary and itself at the bottom. The other domain controllers point to themselves as primary and the newest domain controller on the bottom of the list. Clients on the network
use the original domain controllers as DNS from DHCP first and then the new domain controller DNS. Is it okay to transfer all the FSMO roles to the new domain controller or should I make all the DNS clients point to it first?Hi,
It is possible to first change your FSMO roles and after this is done then point your DNS clients to the new DC. This should not be a problem.
some interesting information about assigning your FSMO Roles: http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
Hope this helps you out. -
Synchronization of redundant Domain Controller
Hello everyone,
I have a question about synchronization of a redundant Domain Controller.
We have a pair of DC and they are placed in different buildings. The question is, what happens if the network connection between the buildings gets disconnected for a longer time, e.g. because of construction work.
How long can they be isolated before they are not able to synchronize again, when the connections gets back?
Thanks in advance!Is this the right setup?
Yes it is correct. I would go with 127.0.0.1 for 'Alternate DNS server'.

Strange issues with domain controller/DNS server
Our domain controller/DNS server was working fine this morning. Then suddenly we stopped being able to access certain things on it. I could ping it, RDP into it, and access some files on it, but I couldn't run any applications hosted on it, accessing shared
network files was slow, and different people around the office were getting access denied errors to files and folders they had full control of in NTFS (and in shared permissions).
At first I noticed an NTP error so I registered w32tm and started the service and that got rid of the error but didn't fix anything.
Oddly, machines still had internet access.
We tried rebooting everything, restarting services, nothing has helped.
When I accessed the server directly through the console I could access everything, could connect to any machine in the office, nothing seemed to be wrong with it.
Any ideas?Is there any recent changes in your network or firewall or antivirus? Is there any change/updates performed in the AD side? I would suggest find out changes being done at the AD or Network/FIrewall level. You can run various diagnostic test within your AD
environment to find the overall health of the AD infra.
What does DCDIAG actually… do?

Help with setting up active directory domain controller/DNS - need this for Clustering
Disclaimer: I am new to Active Directory, so please dont rule out the obvious things I may have overlooked.
I need to set up Active Directory Domain controller on at least one server so I can run clustering. I set up the domain controller and ran Cluster validation and that failed - unable to reach writable domain controller.
When I look at my server manager AD DS complain about DNS:

Dear Experts,
In our office we have a domain controller call it 'Office.com', all computers and corporate servers e.g. exchange, antivirus etc. are member of this 'office.com', it is also having a DNS. All users in office have there preferred DNS set to the corporate
DNS
We are working for ministry and offering services to them from our data center so have many servers which are for ministry but they are in our data center. For all these servers we created another DNS server which contains all entries for these servers in
forward and reverse lookup zones. In this DNS we also created a forward lookup zone for our corporate servers and zone name is 'office.com'
What we are trying to have is name resolution of all servers which are listed in other DNS build in our office on Win 2008 R2 for ministry servers
If the user change his preferred DNS to ministry DNS he can resolve the ministry server but then we can not control any thing through group policy since they are using other DNS and not the corporate DNS.
How this can be done ? like any group policy applied to corporate domain controller must take effect on users and in addition to this user must also be able to resolve server names in ministry project DNS
Please assist ASAP.
regards,Hello,
ok so the GPO setting doesn't apply in any case.
Clients machines use the first DNS server in the list of configured ones on the NIC. If that one is available search for additional DNS servers will stop.
What i can not really understand is your description about the second DNS server. This should normally either another DC with AD integrated DNS, so everything is replicatedwithin AD replication or you use a secondary DNS on domain member server that pulls
the informations from the Master.
It sounds for me that you have configured a machine with DNS server role and created manually the zone with the same name as the domainand manually create there the required A records?

Server 2012 Domain Controller / DNS Issue
If you did ipconfig /registerdns, I'm assuming you did ipconfig /flushdns prior to that correct? Just want to make sure...
Once you are sure you did both, go ahead and type in nslookup in the command prompt. What does it display as the current DNS server? Once you type that in, you can type in the IP address of your new DC and see what it resolves to. Please get back to us with those results when possible.We had a domain controller go down in a multi domain controller environment. We set a new one up and promoted it to the domain. Assigned it all the necessary roles and joined it to the domain. It has been 4 days since we did this and we cannot ping it by host name. We can ping it by IP address. I have forced replication, which allowed me to ping it by host name for a few hours, but then it stopped working. I have tried to change the DNS primary to a different DC, making the host a secondary DNS, that didn't fix it. I am looking for any suggestions on how to fix it. I have done a ipconfig /registerdns , restarted DNS services but still not able to ping host name of DC on a consistent basis.
Any suggestions ?

New Domain Controller DNS Issues
Hello,
We currently have 2 root Domain Controllers (ROOTDOM) and 4 child Domain Controllers (MYDOM). ROOTDOM is an empty domain, everything on our network uses the MYDOM domain.
These existing DCs were running Server 2003, so we upgraded the schema and added 2 Server 2008 DCs in ROOTDOM and 4 Server 2008 DCs in MYDOM. All servers are DNS servers and Global Catalog servers.
The AD replication status tool shows replication is working perfectly between the new and old DCs, and everything looks up to date in AD and DNS on all servers.
The new servers have a SYSVOL and NETLOGON share as they should.
The servers are all in the Domain Controllers AD group and have correct static IP addresses, forwarders are pointing to the 2 old 2003 ROOTDOM DCs which in turn point to an internet source which works fine.
The problem is that when I change the DNS server address of a machine in MYDOM to one of my new 2008 DCs, the machine appears to lose connectivity with the domain. As soon as I put the DNS server back to one of the existing 2003 DCs, connectivity resumes
as normal.
I really don't understand what else I'm missing on those 2008 DCs, could you give me any pointers of where to look?
ROOTDOM MYDOM
2003RDC1 2003DC1
2003RDC2 2003DC2
2008RDC1 2003DC3
2008RDC2 2003DC4
2008DC1
2008DC2
2008DC3
2008DC4
The issue is slightly complicated by the fact that 2008DC2 has a hardware failure so DCDIAG (understandably) reports replication issues to that at the moment.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

IntersiteHi Kev,
>>The problem is that when I change the DNS server address of a machine in MYDOM to one of my new 2008 DCs, the machine appears to lose connectivity with the domain.
Before going further, does the 2008 DC belong to MYDOM domain? For AD-integrated DNS servers and if these servers belong to the same domain, they should hold the same set
of DNS records.
Besides, we can check DNS event logs to see if some related events were logged.

Sorry if my attempt to be thorough in my description may result in excessive and unnecessary information.
I'm running into some problems with a single server running WS 2012 R2 as a domain controller (AD and DNS) and I’m trying to figure out what the cause is.
The network has ~10 computers on it connected through a cable business gateway (running DHCP) which feeds 2 switches and a wireless router acting as a switch. (I also turned on remote services, but the end users aren’t using that until I get certificates
setup.)
For 6+ months everyone had access to the shared files and databases on each workstation without issue.
In the last month users would occasionally have to re-enter their credentials to get access to shared server folders despite being on a domain account already.
Last week one of the computers intermittently cannot gain access to the shared folders– entering the correct credentials just results in the credentials being requested again and again: There’s an error icon at the bottom saying that “there are currently
no logon servers available to service the logon request”. While access is rejected I’m still able to ping the DC both via its name and IPV4 address.
(Pinging via its name results in an IPv6 address in the response.)
Other network connectivity appears intact (able to browse the web, perform network discovery.)
Things that ‘seem’ to allow access on this computer until the next failure:
Entering a different domain username and password into the windows credentials request has allowed access a couple of times.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the network cable allowed the original username to be used to log on (at least once.)
After removing it from and then rejoining it to the domain (a few hours ago) it experienced the problem once more. Also, logging on with domain credentials created a TEMP user folder instead of the folder with the domain username.
Looking at the event logs, I notice there are quite a few warnings and errors reported regarding DC access on many of the computers; maybe this is normal?
Most Problematic Computer:
Event ID 8016: System failed to register host A or AAAA resource records. (With an unknown Ipv6 and the server’s ipv4 address in the DNS server list.)
Event ID 131: NtpClient unable to set a domain peer to use as a time source because of DNS resolution error on ‘Server.domain.local’
‘No such host is known.”
Event ID 5719: NETLOGON. This computer was not able to setup a secure session with a domain controller in the domain due …..: there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
And then pairs of: Event 1500: The Group Policy settings for the computer were processed successfully. There were no changes detected since the last successful processing of Group Policy. & Event 1054:
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not obtain the name of a domain controller. This could be caused by a name resolution failure. Verify your Domain Name System (DNS) is configured and working correctly.
Event 1030: The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows attempted to retrieve new Group Policy settings for this user or computer. Look in the details tab for error code and description. Windows will automatically retry this operation
at the next refresh cycle. Computers joined to the domain must have proper name resolution and network connectivity to a domain controller for discovery of new Group Policy objects and settings. An event will be logged when Group Policy is successful.
On the server I’ve run DCDIAG and DCDIAG /test:DNS and those all appeared to pass.

Any thoughts? I was assuming it was a Domain Controller/DNS error, but I don't know where to check next. Could a failing piece of hardware be the culprit?
Thanks,
-JTHi,
According to the error you have posted.
A Netlogon 5719 event indicates that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against.
Most of the time this is caused by network issues or name resolution (DNS/WINS) issues, you could refer to:

Domain Controller going down after IDM implemented
Hi,
We have implemented IDM 7.1 and are using the PSS (Password Self Service), Password Syncronization functionality for 2 AD and 6 ABAP systems. This PSS is implemented to support our company ESS which is on the internet so that users can reset their own password. Hence to support it we have a architecture having one AD on the DMZ and another internal.
Both the AD repositories have been configured pointing to a perticular DC (Domain Contorller) . All the DC's have Phook installed on them.
Since Go-live we have not had any issue with the DC on the DMZ but the internal DC keeps going down once in a while and it doesnt have a pattern. We tried switching to different DC's also which didnt work. Right now we are keeping a close watch on the DC and we carryout a restart whenever it happens.
Did anyone come across such kind of a issue, if so then please let me know.
Thanks.Hi Ahmed,
Thank you for your quick response! Our secondary domain controller IP settings were set properly according to the recommendation, but the primary (the one having the issues) was not. I went ahead and changed the settings and did an ipconfig /registerdns
and restarted the netlogon service. Nothing changed after that. I ran a dcdiag and the only one that failed was this:
Starting test: NCSecDesc
Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have
Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set
access rights for the naming context:
DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=*hidden*,DC=*hidden*
Error NT AUTHORITY\ENTERPRISE DOMAIN CONTROLLERS doesn't have
Replicating Directory Changes In Filtered Set
access rights for the naming context:
DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=*hidden*,DC=*hidden*
......................... *hidden PDC Name* failed test NCSecDesc
I'm going to restart the server tonight after those IP changes and let you know my outcome.
Thanks again! -
Default Domain Controller Policy
Hello All,
We will be starting promotion of Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller in our organisation. For that we are trying to implement the Default Domain Controller Policy for 2012 r2 related.
We already have Account Policies, Password policy, Audit Policy and Security Option Firewall Settings
But would like your advice about any new features which we can applied in our Default Domain Controller
policy.
Thanks.

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.

Hope this helps.

TechNet Community Support -
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.

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

How to install Windows Updates on a 2012 Domain Controller w/Group Policy Settings
Hello All,
I'm having an issue installing Windows Updates on my Windows Server 2012 Standard with AD DS role, acting as a backup DC.
I have Group Policies setup for the Domain Controllers to download updates from my WSUS server but not to install them. When I go to my Windows Server 2003 R2 Domain Controller, I can install updates via the "Install Updates and Shutdown". That
option doesn't show up on the 2012 server. I can see from my WSUS server and the event viewer that the updates are being downloaded to the 2012 server........just no option for me to install the updates.
Am I just missing something or will I need to change the way my Group Policy is setup to allow installs and/or downloads? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TonySo I've totally removed the GPO settings for configuring updates on the Default Domain Controllers OU and I can get the Windows Server 2003 Server to get updates from Windows Updates, but the 2012 Server still won't show me how to download or install any
updates. It just states on the log-in screen that there are "Windows Updates Sign in and install important updates".
Well guess what Microsoft! I've signed in and still don't see where I can install updates!!!
I guess because you've set AU=3.
There doesn't seem to be much documented in depth about AU/WUAgent (not in the history of forever), but Lawrence and others in the WSUS forum do cover a lot of related question about the agent and also GP settings.
Lawrence has blogged a lot of detail about the registry settings which are available for AU/WU, and how some of those settings are not practically of any use since WinXP.
So, even though your question isn't about WSUS, the WSUS forum is a great place to visit for help for WUAgent etc.
Anyway, "where can I install updates?" :
on the Start screen, Search for "Windows Update"
or
Settings charm
Change PC Settings
Update and Recovery
Windows Update
or
Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update
Some further (light) discussion on the "new" behaviour:

Domain Controller, DHCP, DNS Migration from 2008 r2 to 2012 Essentials
I would like to migrate Domain Controller, DHCP, and DNS functions to a new 2012 Essentials server in a 2008 r2 domain. I would like the 2008 r2 server to remain as applications server. Is it possible to do this? I've seen in TechNet
a reference to this type of migration, but am concerned about the reference that after 21 days the 2008 will shut down. Is it that the server will shut down or the Domain Controller function on the 2008 will shut down? I will need the 2008 setup as is
for our application server, so I want to be sure that the migration will not interfer with that.As long as your existing server is not also an SBS or other Essentials server, it'll be fine. The shutdown after 21 days occurs when multiple SBS or Essentials servers are on the same domain.
