dcdiag - advertising errors on newley promoted domain controller

[Andrew Story]

Hi there, a newly promotoed win2k domain controller (which is a virtual
machine running under virtual server 2005 sp1. This is the second time I've
promoted the server and the second time I am receiving these errors.

Any ideas anyone?

Starting test: Advertising
Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for \\server1.domainname.com
when we were trying to reach server2.
Server is not responding or is not considered suitable.
The DC server2 is advertising itself as a DC and having a DS.
The DC server2 is advertising as an LDAP server
The DC server2 is advertising as having a writeable directory
The DC server2 is advertising as a Key Distribution Center
The DC server2 is advertising as a time server
......................... server2 failed test Advertising

I'm at a loss, no SYSVOL shares are showing and this is the only test that
DCDIAG fails on.

Thanks.

Hello Andrew,

Is 10.0.33.99 also domain controller? What kind of zones do you use, AD integrated?
Please post a complete dcdiag /v output from both DC's. Also from repadmin

[Andrew Story]

Hello,

10.0.33.99 is our UHB domain controller at head office.

We use only AD integrated zones.

[Paul Bergson [MVP-DS]]

Are you using AD integrated dns? Because each server you are showing has
itself as the primary dns and your secondary dns is some unknown server you
haven't defined. What is the .33 server?

You also are using server1 as a router, is this intentional?
