Hi folks,
I have just received an error when trying to add a W2K Prof. client =
system
to my domain. The error is:
"A domain controller for the domain snowshore could not be =
contacted."
Clicking help in the error box says:
" The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.snowshore
Common causes of this error include the following:
=20
- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.
- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to =
it's child zone.
snowshore
. (the root zone)"
I have a simple single-site domain. One domain called SNOWSHORE. I =
have three AD servers.
I DO see some DNS errors in my Event Viewer on my AD master:
Source: DNS
Event ID 4004
The DNS server was unable to complete directory service=20
enumeration of zone office.snowshore.com. =20
This DNS server is configured to use information obtained from=20
Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone=20
without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly=20
and repeat enumeration of the zone.=20
The event data contains the error.=20
I get one of these for each of my DNS zones. =20
I have recently experienced 2 spontaneous reboots of the AD master =
including
a reboot just minutes ago. As the system was about to reboot I got a =
message=20
that said that the reboot was initiated by the "lsass" process.
About 2 weeks back, I did install 2 additional NIC cards so that I could
connect the machine to other physical networks so that I handle NIS =
clients
from those networks (using SFU on this machine too). I do not think =
this
has caused my problem but I am mentioning it as a curiosity.The reboots =
have
only happened 2 days ago and just this morning. =20
Any thoughts or words of advice I would appreciate. I would welcome a =
way to=20
sanity check DNS and also a way to resolve the master browser hopping =
issue.
Seems as though my Master Browser keeps hoppping between machines. How =
do I
make that stay with my AD servers?
