Hi,
I have a Windows 2000 based AD (empty root with 1 child domain) that I'm
in the process of upgrading to w2003r2 as a test for our production
domain (same configuration). The adprep went fine as well as the dcpromo
of the new DC. However when the new DC reboots I get the following
messages in the application log:
EVENT TYPE Error
SOURCE Userenv
EVENT ID 1097
Windows cannot find the machine account, The Local Security Authority
cannot be contacted .
and
EVENT TYPE Error
SOURCE Userenv
EVENT ID 1030
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the
event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine
that describes the reason for this.
Neither system has these messages when they were simple servers in the
domain. They were rebooted several times before becoming DCs to make
sure the event logs were clean.
They seem to be functioning as DCs. File replication with the orginal
w2k dc took a long time to start up.
I added a second w2k3 r2 DC and it is showing the exact same messages.
Both machines were created from the same sysprep image - the machine
that was built as the basis for the sysprep image was never in the domain.
I've been searching Microsoft and came up with one or two applicable
docs. One said to make sure that services like netlogon were set to
automatic (it is). Another had settings for enabling debug on the
netlogon service which I implemented. All that I see in there is
netlogon pausing.
Any ideas?
