I'm very new with Windows server so if anyone can recommend articles to read that cover my questions, I'd appreciate it.

 

I'm looking for a bit of a step by step "how to" on adding my new 2008R2 server to my 2003 domain then then making the 2008R2 machine the master and decomissioning the 2003 server.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

FYI So far I have installed 2008R2 on the new server and haven't done anything else. It's not joined to the 2003 domain and I have not added any server roles to the 2008R2 machine. (Currently my 2003 server had AD, DHCP, and DNS duties.)

When I did it, it worked fine. You can read both topics which may help you:

simply add the role, promote to master and demote the old one :)

 

 

Cheers

Thanks for the info! I just had time to sit down and go over it.

 

Unfortunately the 2nd link is on Expert's Exchange and I don't have an account. Can you suggest any other resources?

So I've gone through all of the steps and I THINK things are all set.

 

How can I difinitively test to see if things are working properly with the new server? I've shut down the old server and rebooted one of the PCs in the domain. I then tried to see if it was logges into the domain or if it was just using cached credentials.

 

A Google search told me to look for the LOGONSERVER environment variable. The thing that I'm a bit confuded about is that that variable holds the name of the old domain controller not the new one. Is that because the new one is "standing in" for the old one because the old one is the master?

 

TIA for suggestions on how to do this!

When you move the primary domain, everything goes to the new server. For example in my case, we moved from 2k3 to 2k8 and we changed also the domain name. Anyway the domain is still the old one, this is not a big problem.

 

What you can do is to set client's dns to point directly to the new server, regarding stored credentials depends on what you have to do. For example if you have a network drive which is mapped with stored credentials, you must remove and re-add with the new domain if you really need this. For example:

 

OLD: MyUser@Old_Domain.local

NEW: MyUser@New.Domain.Name

 

In order to change that property, you can use a GP script which can looks like this:

 

set LOGONSERVER=\\YourNewServer 

 

Or if you prefer, remove clients from domain and rejoin...

 

 

I hope this can help you!

What I'm really looking to do is to just verify ehat the new server has all of the proper roles in place and is working properly.

 

Once I determine that I am going to denote the old w2k3 server and then rename the new server and set it's IP address to the same as the old one so that I don't have to make any changes on the clients. (One of the things you suggested as reading said that was a viable thing to do.)

Posted

You can simply add a DNS entry which redirect the old name to the new one. Instead of change the name which is not a great idea (for me).

 

You can redirect also the IP.

 

I don't know the expiration time of your domain, but you can do some tests for example by turning off the old server and from a client try this:

 

ipconfig /flushdns
nslookup
a ">" appears, type:
server IP_Or_Name_Of_Your_New_Dns (better the IP :P)
then try:
set type=all
NameOfAMachineInsideYourNetwork
then try:
www.google.com

 

If you have responses, it means your dns is working fine.

Once the server is up and running is replicated with all the objects present in domain.

 

Anyway, open the event viewer and check for DNS errors, also use this guide too:

 

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd673658.aspx

 

Finally you can use NETDIAG (I really don't understand if it's supported or not by Srv 2k8...).

 

If you don't need IPv6, disable it, sometime it can cause problems.

 

If your old server is turned off and you don't have troubles, you can simply demote it. I can't see where you could have troubles!

OK, I demoted the old server and now the new server DFS replication service is complaining that it can't reach the old server. Also the AD service says it can't reach the global catalog.

 

I looked back over the info in the PM and I followed all of the steps. Is there a missing step where I need to promote the new server to be the "master?"

 

I'm getting really nervous that I messed up & I'm going to have big problems!

 

Thanks for any and all help!

Mhhhh that's strange, can you post the output of "dcdiag"?

 

Also, open DNS Manager, right click on your server and select PROPERTIES. Then click on FORWARDERS tab and tell me if there's something in there.

 

Here's another topic, check if you did all the process, it's like the new DC doesn't know the old one doesn't exist anymore...

Ok, something didn't worked during the migration...

 

You have multiple problems, first of all you have services which aren't running:

 

ntds

kdc

w32time

netlogon

 

Try start the manually and check if you have any error.

 

By the way the most painful problem is here:

 

Warning: DcGetDcName(PDC_REQUIRED) call failed, error 1717

A Primary Domain Controller could not be located.

The server holding the PDC role is down.

 

The last part is telling you the problem: "The server HOLDING the PDC role is down", this means your DC (big-ring2) doesn't know that big-rig is no more there.

 

Take a look here:

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504

 

I'm just guessing what's happened during migration...

I tried starting the services you said and the first two reported that they were already started.

 

w32time failed to start with error 1792

netlogon failed to start with error 100

 

Those errors are from doing a net start from the command line.

 

I looked at the link you gave me. Do you think I could cause any damage by seizing all of the FSMO roles even if the server already holds the role?

 

Thanks SO much for all of your help! If you can get my server back in working order I need to send you a case of beer or something! You'll be my hero!

ok first try this:

 

run services.msc and find NETLOGON, be sure it's set to AUTOMATIC (start) and not Manual o Delayed.

 

Now open the command prompt and type:

 

net start netlogon

 

If the error code changes, post the new one, else, check the event viewer to find something more detailed (actually I don't now what does "100" mean...).

 

If you don't have errors, start w32time again and tell me the result.

netlogon is set to automatic. The error in the event viewer is as follows:

 

EventID: 5602 "An internal error occurred while accessing the computer's local or network security database"

 

Sounding to me like it's because it does not know it's the only DC left & it's maybe looking for the secutiry database on the old DC.

And MAYBE you're right.

 

But I can't be sure and if this is not your case, you don't have to seizing your DC. So let's try other (and safer) test before.

 

Post results:

 

netdiag.exe /v

repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite

 

 

Thanks and sorry for all these tests, but it's not really easy to solve this kind of problems.

No problem on doing more tests! Not doing enough of them is what got me into this predicament in the first place!

 

I don't seem to have netdiag.exe on the server.

 

repadmin is reporting an error when I run it. Here's the output:

 

Repadmin experienced the following error trying to resolve the DSA_NAME: dc*

If you are trying to connect to an AD LDS instance, you must use :

If you are trying to connect to an AD LDS instance with wildcarding support, you must use the /homeserver option.

Ok, replace DC* with you domain controller's name.

 

Then replace the domain controller's name with the old domain controller's name (I know it's turned off, but do it).

Sorry for my "short" reply before! I was rushing off to pick up my wife and didn't take time to type a lot!

 

Here's the output fir the current server name: big-rig (same as old DC name)

Thank you SO much for your help!

 

I also posted questions on the MS server forums and all I've gotten was admonishments of "why didn't you try it in a lab environment first." You're the only person that has even attempted to take on the challenge of "saving" my server. I am very grateful for that because it will probably save me work in the long run, but most importantly, I will learn WAY more by recovering from this disaster than doing things "by the book" with a re-install.

Posted

I had the same problem with official microsoft's forum... they give you links and link and links... but not a solution...

 

Anyway...

 

Maybe I found something interesting from what you just posted.

 

Open Active Directory Sites and Services, expand Sites > Servers. Can you see the old server there? If yes, if you expand it, is there a "NTDS Settings"?

 

Now expand the new DC, right click on NTDS and select properties. Make sure that GLOBAL CATALOG is checked, if not check it and restart your DC. Then click Connections (the next tab) and tell me if you see something under REPLICATE FROM / TO.

I had this problem too.

 

Open the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite and DISABLE IPv4 Large Send Offload.

 

Let me know if this solve your problem too.

 

 

Just to sure, can you post the output of "ipconfig /all"

 

thanks
