I upgraded a NT 4.0 BDC to 2003. The AD wizard cannot find the Domain
Controller for the domain. All the clients (XP) are able to authenticate to
the Domain Controller, and have been able to for a few weeks. Why can this
BDC not see the domain controller? I can ping the DC using the DNS name, and
IP Address.

Run netdiag /fix on the current DC. Post back with the ipconfig /all for the
BDC you upgraded.

Kevin,

Do you want me to run netdiag on the PDC (which already contains AD and DNS)
or the BDC that I'm trying to upgrade?

DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource
record
used to locate a domain controller for domain eta.com:

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.eta.com

The following domain controllers were identified by the query:

slad01.eta.com

Common causes of this error include:

- Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP
addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses.

- Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or
are not running.

Join the "BDC" to the domain as a member, then run netdiag /fix on both.
Also run dcdiag /fix on the DC.

BTW, PDC and BDC are NT4 terms in Win2k3 there are only DCs with role
holders.

Check you DNS too:

DNS for AD
1) Dynamic for the zone supporting AD
2) All internal DNS clients NIC\IP properties must specify SOLELY
that internal, dynamic DNS server (set.)
3) DCs and even DNS servers are DNS clients too -- see #2

Restart NetLogon on any DC if you change any of the above that
affects a DC and/or use:

nltest /dsregdns /server:DC-ServerNameGoesHere

Ensure that DNS zones/domains are fully replicated to all DNS
servers for that (internal) zone/domain.

Also useful may be running DCDiag on each DC, sending the
output to a text file, and searching for FAIL, ERROR, WARN.

Single Lable domain zone names are a problem Google:
[ "SINGLE LABEL" domain names DNS 2000 | 2003 microsoft: ]

Kevin,

Thanks for your continued support!
I tried to add the Server as a member server and I get an error, that the DC
cannot be located.

In the DNS management console check the properties of the eta.com zone, make
sure Allow dynamic updates is set to secure and unsecured or secure only.
You might try secure and unsecured first.

Then run netdiag /fix on the DC. Post the results from a netdiag /test:dns
/v

Make the primary DNS server of the BDC point to your PDC. AD uses DNS to
locate servers and the replica contained on your BDC is probably incomplete.
Once you have pointed it there and everything looks good, point it back to
itslef (the BDC).
