If I were a betting man, I would say for some reason the context under which netdiag is running does not have perms to read the file. The code in question does an fopen() on it with parameters rt. I suspect, though don't know, that permissions is the likely problem. :) It usually is with other calls such as this one. If you want, let's take this offline. We can report back to the list with the result. I can debug this for you if you're willing? ~Eric -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rachui, Scott Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 1:42 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Unreadable Netlogon.dns file I have just verified that I have the latest version of Netdiag (5.2.3790.0). As for the netlogon.dns file, I have verified it. In fact, I renamed it, restarted netlogon service and it recreated it correctly. I'm running this from a terminal server session on the box itself. I haven't tried running it remotely. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 2:58 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Unreadable Netlogon.dns file I *think* there was an updated version of netdiag that came out. It might be useful to ensure you have the latest. Also, have you verified that the file exists? If neither of those relates, can you give some more information? Are you running this remotely from your desktop? From the console? Same results regardless?

I am testing Windows 2003 Active Directory (running in W2K Native Mode) and on the W2K3 DCs, I get the following message when running NETDIAG: DNS test . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Failed [FATAL] Could not open file C:\WINNT\system32\config\netlogon.dns for reading. [FATAL] Could not open file C:\WINNT\system32\config\netlogon.dns for reading. [FATAL] Could not open file C:\WINNT\system32\config\netlogon.dns for reading. [FATAL] No DNS servers have the DNS records for this DC registered. I have checked security on the 2 W2K3 DCs (which are in different domains, but are both experiencing this), but can't find any permission that they're missing. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
