A couple things to point out. See below...
In news:cs9pm9$slu$1@lust.ihug.co.nz,
Jm <jarrodm@ihug.com.au> made a post then I commented below
| Quote: | Hi All
I have recently implemented my firsrt win2k3 multi server domain. I
have rolled out about 20 networks with multi server domains under
win2k and dont have to many issues. With this network i seem to be
having a lot of issues with frs ? Is there anything new that i need
to know about w2k3 when it comes to configuring dns ? Basically my
config is as follows
Server1:
IP 10.19.15.2
MASK 255.255.254.0
GATE 10.19.14.1
DNS 127.0.0.1
|
Remove the loopback, and change it to be the second entry, and make the
first entry to be another DC/DNS, like this:
Server1:
IP 10.19.15.2
MASK 255.255.254.0
GATE 10.19.14.1
DNS 10.19.15.1
10.19.15.2

Server2:
IP 10.19.15.1
MASK 255.255.254.0
GATE 10.19.15.1
DNS: 10.19.15.2
|
Server2 would be:
Server2:
IP 10.19.15.2
MASK 255.255.254.0
GATE 10.19.14.1
DNS 10.19.15.2
10.19.15.1
| Quote: |
Server 3:
IP 10.19.15.3
MASK 255.255.254.0
GATE 10.19.14.1
DNS 10.19.15.2
|
And server3 would be:
Server3:
IP 10.19.15.3
MASK 255.255.254.0
GATE 10.19.14.1
DNS 10.19.15.1
10.19.15.3

Server 1 was the first server i installed and promoted to be pdc.

Yes, I can tell due to the loopback address. Dcpromo does that. It'snot
recommended to use the loopback. Why? Well, one reason a reverse zone is
recommended on W2k3 or you may get 40961 errors. That said, what reverse
zone will 127.0.0.1 reg into?
| Quote: | I then promoted the two remaining servers. When i start the main server
up i get errors in the event log saying it cant replicate correctly
and to make sure frs is running.
|
After makig the above changes, you'll also want to check your replication
topology. If the zone is AD Integrated, and the domain and forest is in 2003
Functional mode, ensure all the zones are set to use the DomainDnsZones app
partition, and not the DomainNC partition (as W2k uses). Mixing them up can
cause other numerous issues.
| Quote: | Frs is running on all servers, i can
ping the servers by the FQDN no probs. So what else am i doing wrong
? Under win2k this setup would work without a hiccup. Do i have some
strange issues with dns ? Im really not sure what to do from here so
any help is greatly appreciated.
|
Also after configuring my recommendations, on each server run :
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
then
netdiag /fix /v
dcdiag /v
Hope that helps.
