Raising Domain Function Level - server is unwilling to process the request


hi,

 

i trying raise domain function level windows 2003 , keep getting error "server unwilling process request"

 

i running on pdc dc

i started few weeks , had delete orphaned nt pdc server , remove unsuccessful dc's using ntdsutil.  

netdiag reports not showing errors.

i went lostandfoundconfig container in adsi , contains cn=ntds settings empty.

 

any ideas here great

run diagnostics against active directory domain.

if don't have support tools installed, install them server install disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

run dcdiag , repadmin in verbose mode.
-> dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
-> ntfrsutl ds your_dc_name > c:\sysvol.log
-> dnslint /ad /s "ip address of dc"

**note: using /e switch in dcdiag run diagnostics against dc's in forest. if have significant numbers of dc's test generate significant detail , take long time. want take account slow links dc's add testing time.

if download gui script wrote should simple set , run (dcdiag). has option run individual tests without having learn switch options. details output in notepad text files pop automagically.

the script located on website @ http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/downloads.htm

just select both dcdiag , netdiag make sure verbose set. (leave default settings dcdiag set when selected)
when complete search fail, error , warning messages.

description , download dnslint
