Is there a communication error between the 2 zone DC's?  Simple test
would be to publish an app in 1 zone and see if it shows up in the other
zone.  Maybe delete the zone you added, put the servers back into the
original zone.  Let things replicate, and start over?

Nope still not working and I am still getting the error message on the
Data collector.  I only have two zones and they are both valid.  I have
tried running dsmaint recreatelhc on the datacollector and it still has
'Invalid Zones Exist' in the event log.  This error occurs whenever
anybody opens up a new session.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Ok that is interesting, just noticed the eventlog on my data collector.
It is getting a bunch of errors about 'Invalid Zones exist'.  I punted
the server and I think everything is back to normal now.

Sorry my wording was off.  We are using the PNAgent and it is not
working.  It is only supposed to not work with the client.

I thought I read somewhere that you had to use the PN Agent for this
feature to work...  I could be wrong though, but it fits what you are
seeing.

Were actually using the PN Agent, it is just the PN Client that it won't
work with.  I tried modifying the policy and then changing it back to
see if it would refresh but it didn't help.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris

Are you using web interface?  Zone preference and failover is only
availalbe through web interface.

 

i've also seen where policies are not refreshed in the LHC's of the
servers, you may want to try refreshing/recreating the LHC's.

It is only configured in the two policies and each policy is applied to
different groups.  Don't think it is a priority issue because both
policies are not working and all of the other policies and 'Zone
preference and failover' set to not configured. 

 

Thanks,

You assigned the policies to the appropriate group of users and are sure
your policy precedence isn't causing an issue?  I set this up in MPS4.0
last week and it has worked great.

Hi all,

 

Have Windows 2003 with MPS 3.0 Enterprise edition.  I have a policy for
one group that sets the Primary group to a specific zone and same with
the backup.  I have a second policy that sets it to the reverse for
another group (We have two zones).  The Zone preference and failover
doesn't seem to be working, users are connecting to either zone
randomly.  I am not sharing load information between zones.  Any idea's
why this isn't working? 

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
