The DC, BDC and W2kclient all points to the DNS on the DC. -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Santhosh Sivarajan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: fr 2004-02-13 22:00 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopia: Ämne: RE: [ActiveDir] W2K not authenticated by NT4 BDC when DC is down.
Sounds like a DNS issue. What is your DNS config on workstation, PDC and BDC? Santhosh -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Niklas Wikander Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] W2K not authenticated by NT4 BDC when DC is down. I'm preparing an upgrade of a NT domain to a W2k domain. The scenario: I have one NT PDC and one NT BDC in my domain TEST. In the TEST domain I have one W2kclient. Everything works great. I upgrade the PDC to W2k DC and with the upgrade I also install DNS on the DC and name the domain TEST.LOCAL Everything works great and I can login to TEST.LOCAL with the W2kclient. But, When the DC is down and only the old NT BDC is up, I cannot login to the domain. I get the classic error: The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorecct. When I look in the event viewer the synchronization works between the DC and the BDC. With both DC and BDC I can see the W2kclient computer account in server manager. But with the DC down I only see the two servers in server manager. Why is the account missing when the DC is down? Probably I have missed something in the upgrade process but I cannot figure out what. I have tried this twice now with the same result. Any suggestions?
