We currently have 2x 2008R2 DC's one is in VMware and the other is physical and a 3rd 2003R2 remote DC.
We had a power outage a couple of days ago and lost connectivity to the remote DC and the VMWare DC was down as well. The physical DC was up but DNS and AD-DS was not working on our network, looking at the event logs I was getting Event ID 4013 As below
The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed.
Event ID 1014 as below
Name resolution for the name BIBSOC1.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
I change the DC to look at itself for DNS on the NIC but this had no change, once we managed to get the VMWare DC up and running all was well.
They are all Global Catalog servers and the physical DC (Which is up) is the operation master for RID, PDC, schema, naming master and Infastructure.
Any pointers would be useful, if you need more info please let me know.
Thanks
