[ActiveDir] Schema Directory Partition replication error

[Roberto De Lise]

The situation is as follows:   We have a server that is experiencing hardware problems (motherboard probably) that has been running as PDC for 2 years now. We configured a new and more powerfull server and wanted this one to run as new PDC.   I tried taking a systemstate backup from the old server and restoring it on the new one, with the result that the new server wont reboot anymore.   Now I'm trying to setup the new server as a SDC, then kill the old PDC and make the SDC authorative so the new server becomes PDC.   All good and well, but i get this errormessage when i try to setup the SDC   http://blog.saxgod.be/media/1/20050517-schemamappartitie_uk.jpg   My idea of it is that it says 'ahserv.' instead of the fqdn ahserv.cvo-ah.be., but not to sure about that.. DNS is running on the current PDC and is allowed to update. When I check the folders netlogon creates inside the domain they point to ahserv. and not ahserv.cvo-ah.be. .. I tried setting all records to the fqdn and then setup the SDC but it didn't help (it also still said ahserv. instead of the fqdn in the error message, so not sure it worked by manually editing the dns records)   Someone out there that knows how to fix this ?   Hope someone can help me.   Roberto De Lise
