That is a GUID (not a SID). Why are you manually adding connection objects? You should not be doing this most likely.
Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c - 312.731.3132 -----Original Message----- From: activedir-ow...@mail.activedir.org [mailto:activedir-ow...@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 7:50 PM To: NT Admin Mailing List; Active Dir ML Subject: [ActiveDir] Odd entries in SITES and SERVICES Win2000 AD, in a parent/child domain config. I'm seeing something odd after adding a new DC into one of my sites. This is a DC in my child domain. So my techs DCpromo the server, while out at the site (so they're on the right subnet). And the DC adds fine, and shows up in the proper site. All good so far. So I go into AD S&S, and fiure I will manually add a connection to each of my parent and child DCs, rather than wait for them to automatically show up. And they show up, and all seems well, so far. Now, I am seeing odd entries for that new DC - I am seeing duplicates of some of the entries I made. For example, I added a connection to WDC001. Now, in addition to that entry, I have an entry for WDC001:3e94f9c4-fd3f .... Looks like a SID, actually. I added 3 DCs for the child domain, and I am seeing these entries for all 3 child DCs. Not seeing it for the 4 other parent DCs. A "repadmin /replsummary /bysrc" doesn't show the strange entry, just the WDC001. REPLMON shows successful replications for this server, for all the other DCs I told it about. SO ... any ideas of what this is? Did I screw up anything? (I shouldn't have; I have manually entered new connection in SITES and SERVICES before, without this occurring). If so, how do I un-screw it? What should I do next? Delete all these connections, and then just wait for AD to automatically recreate the links itself?
