PC joining domainI have a single forest single domain Windows Server 2003 environment. I
recently had to remove a DC from the domain "ungracefully". Now when a PC joins the domain, you have to specify the full NETBIOS domain name (i.e. "obps.local" as opposed to "obps"). In the past I have always been able to join the domain with just the latter. Any ideas? Make sure you remove references to old domain controller from AD (as per
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216498) and DNS hth Marcin Show quoteHide quote "obnetadmin" <obnetad***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FBD5B80C-28CB-4892-8B18-74258C4E0813@microsoft.com... >I have a single forest single domain Windows Server 2003 environment.

removed DC? Can be a problem with the PDC role.

Just to straighten out the terminology, the name, "obps.local," is actually the FQDN domain name, not the NetBIOS name. The NetBIOS name is "OBPS" in your case.>I have a single forest single domain Windows Server 2003 environment. I > recently had to remove a DC from the domain "ungracefully".

If so, is it's reference to WINS in the client machine's IP config, assuming the client obtained an IP from DHCP? Also, as the others asked, did you perform a Metadata Cleanup to remove the old DC reference, as well as seize the roles? -- Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Please check http://support.microsoft.com for regional support phone numbers. As has already been suggested, it sounds like you might need to do some
metadata cleanup. I would suggest you grab the metadata cleanup script in my FAQ http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=4733. This script was written by a Microsoft employee and will simplify the cleanup process. The script does NOT cleanup DNS, you will need to do that manually. Hope that helps, Mark D. MacLachlan Hello obnetadmin,
If you loose a DC without demoting you have to do some steps to remove it complete from the AD database, DNS zones, AD sites and services: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555846/en-us Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ** Please do NOT email, only reply to Newsgroups ** HELP us help YOU!!! http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm Show quoteHide quote > I have a single forest single domain Windows Server 2003 environment. > I recently had to remove a DC from the domain "ungracefully".
