problem reading gpt.iniHello,
one of my Active Directory server W2003 Standard R2 SP2 is giving a lot of this errors (id=1058): Windows no puede obtener acceso al archivo gpt.ini para GPO cn={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=cpd,DC=com. El archivo debe estar presente en la ubicación <\\cpd.com\sysvol\cpd.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>. (Acceso denegado. ). Se ha anulado el proceso de Directiva de grupo. That says Windows can't get the file gpt.ini. But when I test the path from the server, all is OK. I was also checking the security permissions for that cn... and I don't find any strange... I mean, is it necesary an special permission for the cn's? I also have 2 AD server Windows 2003 Standards else, and they has not problem with it. May be the problem is the master schema is also a Windows standard 2003 8not R2), and the AD server is R2? thank you!

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the DC. If you have more than one DC, please post one of one of your other DCs as well. Also look in DNS, let us know if the SRV records under 'cpd.com' exist, as well as the LdapIpAddress, which are the records that are registered by each DC that look like: (same as parent) A 192.168.x.x.

I was looking in DNS of my "master os schema" DC, and there are not SRV records in the root of "cpd.com" as "(same as parent) SRV 192.168.x.x.". But there are SRV records inside subfolders --> _tcp, which are not "same as parent", but "_kerberos" or "ldap". And these are the results of "ipconfig /all" in all my DC's: Master of schema: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : servcentmb Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : cpd.com Node

It appears DC4 and DC5 are multihomed. That is a major cause of numerous problems with DCs and AD communications.Is there anyway you can make them single NIC? Ace No, I can't do anything about Dc4 and Dc5, because they are on the
installations of our ISP. So, they need to have 2 IPs.
In fact, DC4 and DC5 has not this problem with AD. The problem is only in servcentmb and in svc4001. But in the last times we had problem with all the servers hosted on our ISP: sometimes there can't get the computers in the network, when I try to explore the network using the File Explorer. But they can get the computers when I use the IP to get in there... I think all these problems are connected. But, could you give some track or link to understand why DNS can cause this head? When I check my dns I find all is OK... at least until I can understand... Thank you Ace!

Do you have Sites configured? That will control which servers are being used for logon and authentication by your users in each location. Also, if you find any Event log errors on any of the DCs, please post the EventID# please. Is the cpd.com zone AD Integrated? If so, what replication scope is it set to? Your DNS settings on each DC are confusing. There are IP addresses that I do not know what they belong to. When I look at DCs and a DNS infrastructure, I try to find a coorelation with the DCs and their DNS addresses and how they are interelated. However in this infrastructure, I do not see an inter-relationshiop, rather a bit of confusion. If you only have 5 DCs, then I do not understand what the following addresses belong to? They do not appear to be DCs. 192.168.11.14 192.168.11.10 As for the two DCs at your ISP, why are DCs at an ISP? Is it for your users to authenticate to? The multihomed issue is very problematic, too. Here are some questions concerning your DC/DNS setup: ============= 1. What are these two DNS servers that DC1 (servcentmb - 192.168.11.14) are using? The do not appear to be domain controllers: IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.254 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.20 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.15.254 .. 192.168.11.10 ============= 2. What is the 192.168.11.10 DNS address that DC2 (srvpenteomad -192.168.12.254) is using? Is that a domain controller (same question as above)? Dirección IP. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.12.254 Máscara de subred . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Puerta de enlace predet.. . . : 192.168.12.7 Servidores DNS. . . . . . . . : 192.168.12.254 .. 192.168.11.10 ============= 3.

DC4 (nxdgmexcashub01 - 10.2.1.170 & 192.168.220.100) has no DNS address on the 10.2.1.170 interface. Why? Why is it multihomed? You should add minmally 192.168.220.100 as the DNS address. IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.2.1.170 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.254.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : (no DNS address ????)

The additional records also place the DC as part of two Sites, which can cause issues, too. There are too many issues to list. It can be forced to work properly, if you like, which I will provide instructions on how to do that below. The following is a little background on multihomed DCs and instructions on making it work correctly, if you feel you need to keep them multihomed. I hpe the tutorial and instructions are helpful. ====================================================================================================== ====================================================================================================== Multihomed DCs, DNS, RRAS servers. By Ace Fekay, Directory Services MVP +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Multihomed DCs WILL cause numerous issues. It's highly recommended to single home all DCs and use a non-DC for the multihoming purposes. If it is the internet gateway, it is recommended to purchase an inexpensive, or cable/DLS router, or even better, a Cisco or similar firewall to perform the task. To explain why will require a little background on AD and DNS: First, just to get this out of the way, if you have your ISP's DNS addresses in your IP configuration (DCs and clients), they need to be REMOVED. If the ISP's DNS is in there, this will cause additional problems. I usually see errors (GPOs not working, can't find the domain, RPC issues, etc), when the ISP's DNS servers are listed on a client, DCs and/or member servers, or with multihomed DCs. If you have an ISP's (or some other outside DNS server or even using your router as a DNS server) DNS addresses in your IP configuration (all DCs, member servers and clients), they need to be REMOVED and ONLY use the internal DNS server(s). This can be very problematic. Basically, AD requires DNS. DNS stores AD's resource and service locations in the form of SRV records, hence how everything that is part of the domain will find resources in the domain. If the ISP's DNS is configured in the any of the internal AD member machines' IP properties, (including all client machines and DCs), the machines will be asking the ISP's DNS 'where is the domain controller for my domain?", whenever it needs to perform a function, (such as a logon request, replication request, querying and applying GPOs, etc). Unfortunately, the ISP's DNS does not have that info and they reply with an "I dunno know", and things just fail. Unfortunately, the ISP's (or your router as a DNS server) DNS doesn't have information or records about your internal private AD domain, and they shouldn't have that sort of information. Also, AD registers certain records in DNS in the form of SRV records that signify AD's resource and service locations. When there are multiple NICs, each NIC registers. IF a client, or another DC queries DNS for this DC, it may get the wrong record. One factor controlling this is Round Robin. If a DC or client on another subnet that the DC is not configured on queries for it, Round Robin will kick in offering one or the other. If the wrong one gets offered, it may not have a route to it. On the other hand, Subnetmask Priortization will ensure a querying client will get an IP that corresponds to the subnet it's on, which will work. To insure everything works, stick with one NIC. Since this DC is multi-homed, it requires additional configuration to prevent the public interface addresses from being registered in DNS. This creates a problem for internal clients locating AD to authenticate and find other services and resources such as the Global Catalog, file sharing and the SYSVOL DFS share and can cause GPO errors with Userenv 1000 events to be logged, authenticating to shares and printers, logging on takes forever, among numerous other issues. But if you like, there are some registry changes to eliminate the registration of the external NIC or simply use the internal networking routing to allow access. Here's the whole list of manual steps to follow. Another problem is the DC now becomes part of two Sites. This is another issue that can be problematic. But believe me, it's much easier to just get a separate NAT device or multihome a non-DC then having to alter the DC. If the both NICs are internal, I would suggest to pick a subnet, team the NICs and allow your internal routers handle the traffic between subnets - Good luck! 1. Insure that all the NICS only point to your internal DNS server(s) only and none others, such as your ISP's DNS servers' IP addresses. 2. In Network & Dialup properties, Advanced Menu item, Advanced Settings, move the internal NIC (the network that AD is on) to the top of the binding order (top of the list). 3. Disable the ability for the outer NIC to register. The procedure, as mentioned, involves identifying the outer NIC's GUID number. This link will show you how: 246804 - How to Enable-Disable Windows 2000 Dynamic DNS Registrations (per NIC too): http://support.microsoft.com/?id=246804 4. Disable NetBIOS on the outside NIC. That is performed by choosing to disable NetBIOS in IP Properties, Advanced, and you will find that under the "WINS" tab. You may want to look at step #3 in the article to show you how to disable NetBIOS on the RRAS interfaces if this is a RRAS server. 296379 - How to Disable NetBIOS on an Incoming Remote Access Interface [Registry Entry]: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=296379 Note: A standard Windows service, called the "Browser service", provides the list of machines, workgroup and domain names that you see in "My Network Places" (or the legacy term "Network Neighborhood"). The Browser service relies on the NetBIOS service. One major requirement of NetBIOS service is a machine can only have one name to one IP address. It's sort of a fingerprint. You can't have two brothers named Darrell. A multihomed machine will cause duplicate name errors on itself because Windows sees itself with the same name in the Browse List (My Network Places), but with different IPs. You can only have one, hence the error generated. 5. Disable the "File and Print Service" and disable the "MS Client Service" on the outer NIC. That is done in NIC properties by unchecking the respective service under the general properties page. If you need these services on the outside NIC (which is unlikely), which allow other machines to connect to your machine for accessing resource on your machine (shared folders, printers, etc.), then you will probably need to keep them enabled. 6. Uncheck "Register this connection" under IP properties, Advanced settings, "DNS" tab. 7. Delete the outer NIC IP address, disable Netlogon registration, and manually create the required records a. In DNS under the zone name, (your DNS domain name), delete the outer NIC's IP references for the "LdapIpAddress". If this is a GC, you will need to delete the GC IP record as well (the "GcIpAddress"). To do that, in the DNS console, under the zone name, you will see the _msdcs folder. Under that, you will see the _gc folder. To the right, you will see the IP address referencing the GC address. That is called the GcIpAddress. Delete the IP addresses referencing the outer NIC. i. To stop these two records from registering that information, use the steps provided in the links below: Private Network Interfaces on a Domain Controller Are Registered in DNS http://support.microsoft.com/?id=295328 ii. The one section of the article that disables these records is done with this registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters (Create this Multi-String Value under it): Registry value: DnsAvoidRegisterRecords Data type: REG_MULTI_SZ Values: LdapIpAddress GcIpAddress iii. Here is more information on these and other Netlogon Service records: Restrict the DNS SRV resource records updated by the Netlogon service [including GC]: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/standard/sag_dns_pro_no_rr_in_ad.asp b. Then you will need to manually create these two records in DNS with the IP addresses that you need for the DC. To create the LdapIpAddress, create a new host under the domain, but leave the "hostname" field blank, and provide the internal IP of the DC, which results in a record that looks like: (same as parent) A 192.168.5.200 (192.168.5.200 is used for illustrative purposes) i. You need to also manually create the GcIpAddress as well, if this is a GC. That would be under the _msdcs._gc SRV record under the zone. It is created in the same fashion as the LdapIpAddress mentioned above. 8. In the DNS console, right click the server name, choose properties, then under the "Interfaces" tab, force it only to listen to the internal NIC's IP address, and not the IP address of the outer NIC. 9. Since this is also a DNS server, the IPs from all NICs will register, even if you tell it not to in the NIC properties. See this to show you how to stop that behavior (this procedure is for Windows 2000, but will also work for Windows 2003): 275554 - The Host's A Record Is Registered in DNS After You Choose Not to Register the Connection's Address: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=275554 10. If you haven't done so, configure a forwarder. You can use 4.2.2.2 if not sure which DNS to forward to until you've got the DNS address of your ISP. How to set a forwarder? Good question.

I will try to explain my infrastructure, so you will understand why in each DC I have different DNS: I have 4 offices conected (one of them is my ISP), in the same domain. Every office has its own DC, and they also are DHCP and DNS. Two of those offices have only one DC (DC1 and DC2), without any specific role. But my ISP has 2 DCs (DC4 and DC5) that are Schema owner and Domain role owner. And the other office has 3 DC. 2 of those DCs (DC3 and DC6) on this last office have not roles, but the other one (servcentmb) has the PDC role, RID pool manager, and Infrastructure owner. And for all that, every DC is using itself as first DNS, and then point to another one on the network. Except by the DCs on my ISP (DC4 and DC5): they use itself as DNS, and they are not using another DNS on the network. The configuration of DC6 is: Configuración IP de Windows Nombre del host . . . . . . . : svc4001 Sufijo DNS principal . . . . : cpd.com Tipo de nodo. . . . . . . . . : desconocido Enrutamiento habilitado . . . : No Proxy de WINS habilitado. . . : Sí Lista de búsqueda sufijo DNS : cpd.com Adaptador Ethernet Conexión de área local 2: Sufijo conexión específica DNS: Descripción . . . . . . . . . : BCM5703 Gigabit Ethernet Dirección física. . . . . . . : 00-0B-CD-6A-85-7F DHCP habilitado . . . . . . . : No Dirección IP. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.11.10 Máscara de subred . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Puerta de enlace predet.. . . : 192.168.11.20 Servidores DNS. . . . . . . . : 192.168.11.10 192.168.10.86 So, I hope you can understand my english :) Thank you again!!

They are DC4 and DC5. Multihomed DCs can cause NUMEROUS problems. It is well documented, and highly recommended to not multihome a DC. It causes DNS registration conflicts, and also places a DC in multiple Sites, which causes further issues. If you can eliiminate the additional interfaces on those machine, that would be good for starters. I hope that helps. Ace
