2012 R2 GC not responding to AD when 2008 R2 server goes down
i have weird problem.
background: had 2003 sbs , migrated 08r2. demoted sbs , 08r2 worked fine. added domain services 2012 r2 , clicked gc , moved fsmo roles new 2012 r2 server. both show in aduc under domain controllers. can ping lf.local workstation , round robin reply dns.
here's problem. when shutdown 08r2 server, ad goes down too. tried run aduc workstation , 12r2 server both there no directory servers available.
if boot 08r2 server well. can manually change 12r2 server in aduc , comes fine while 08r2 server running also. goal continue migration 08r2 12r2 , demote 08r2 asap.
i've checked million times in ad can, , says both servers domain controllers. dns works fine. modified record on 08r2 , changed on 12r2. changed on 12r2 , changed on 08r2. changed description field in user , changed both ways. replication seems bi-directional , working. plus i've check in adss bunch make sure replication set correctly.
what did miss on 12r2 server? i'm not seeing mistake.
hi jason,
thanks post.
the error message "nologon servers available" means there no dc available validate credentials of user trying login domain. there can many reason such connectivity, firewall, not able locate srv records in dns or secure channel broken. need start connection verification, latency, firewall port, antivirus etc.
if yes, please check what's other message in event log? following check.
make sure ports used ad replication opened in both directions between 2 locations: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727063.aspx
use repadmin /showrepl command verify successful replication.
make sure each dc has 1 ip address in use , 1 nic card enabled. other nic cards should disabled
choose healthy dc / dns server , make dcs pointing primary dns server
run ipconfig /registerdns and restart netlogon on each dc have
do manual cleanup of obsolete dns records linked dcs.
best regards,
mary dong
